| In width of scope, Yeats far exceeds
any of his contemporaries. He is the only poet since the 18th century who has
been a public man in his own country and the only poet since Milton who has been
a public man at a time when his country was involved in a struggle for political
liberty. This may not seem an important matter, but it is a question whether the
kind of life lived by poets for the last two hundred years or so has not been
one great reason for the drift of poetry away from the life of the community as
a whole, and the loss of touch with tradition. Once the life of contemplation
has been divorced from the life of action, or from real knowledge of men of
action, something is lost which it is difficult to define, but which leaves
poetry enfeebled and incomplete. Yeats responded with all his heart as a young
