L ater, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family —bothhis father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh t ask i n f ounding a n I rish n ational t heatre i n t he l ate 1890s. H is e arly t heatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared w ith h is d ramatic w orks, Y eats’s p oems a ttract m uch a dmiring n otice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and a ging. Though Y eats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them.

Yet,he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75.
