Style and Inspiration
"considered to be one of the greatest poets of the 20th century"
He was very inspired by Irish legends and heroes which he wrote about in many poems
He was known as a 'symbolist' poet
Although there is not much information on what inspired, or even when he wrote his poem 'O Do Not Love Too Long', it can be assumed it was either about his muse Maud Gonne, or his wife Georgie Hyde-Lees
After he married Georgie, they started experimenting with 'automatic writing'
