From The Second Life of Art: Selected Essays of Eugenio Montale, edited and translated by Jonathan Galassi

YEATS

"In William Butler Yeats -- probably the last great lyric poet that the United Kingdom has had -- his neo-Gaelic paraphernalia and all the weaknesses inherent in the thought of a drawing-room spiritualist were overcome and outweighed by a wave of melody."

From W. H. Auden
