The Poetry of W. B. Yeats / La Poésie de W. B. Yeats
(Bilingual English – French Edition • Édition Bilingue Anglais – Français)
W.B. Yeats’ mystical verses come alive in this luminous bilingual edition, where Celtic legends and Irish revolutionary fervor meet in two languages. From his early Romantic visions to his powerful later works, experience Yeats’ complete poetic evolution with each English poem facing its French counterpart.
About the Poet:
The dreamer who helped forge a nation, William Butler Yeats spun Celtic myths into modern magic while helping shape Ireland’s cultural rebirth. This Nobel Prize winner began as a lovestruck youth writing fairy poems and became a fiery senator crafting verses that could “hammer thoughts into unity.” His poetry—steeped in occult symbols, unrequited love, and political passion—remains as timeless as the gyres he obsessively traced.

Let Yeats’ vision resonate doubly as “A terrible beauty is born” becomes “Une terrible beauté est née”—the same revolutionary fire burning in two tongues.
