Known for his lyrical and mystical poetry, Yeats's works often explored themes of mythology, symbolism, and the occult. Some of his most notable works include "The Tower," "The Wild Swans at Coole," and "The Second Coming."

His poetic style combined traditional Irish folklore with modernist techniques, creating a unique and influential body of work that continues to inspire generations of poets and writers.
One of Yeats's most famous works is "The Lake Isle of Innisfree," a poem that reflects his deep connection to the Irish landscape and his longing for a simpler way of life. Yeats's contributions to literature, his innovative style, and his enduring influence make him a towering figure in the world of poetry and literature.
