WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
Birth and Early Life : William Butler Yeats was born at Sandymount near Dublin on June 13, 1865. His father, John Butler Yeats, was a painter of considerable repute and promise who had Pre-Raphaelite learnings. His mother belonged to a well-to-do family of Pollexfens, who lived at Sligo in the West of Ireland. Yeats was influenced both by his father and his mother. To his father he owed the interest in art, ideas and Pre-Raphaelitism. Sligo, the village of his mother, awakened the poet in him.
His father had to remove his household several times between Dublin and London. Because of his financial condition he had many times to leave his family - wife and children at Sligo. Here Yeats passed his early boyhood. He was often lonely. The sharp difference between him and other Irish boys always made him conscious of his lanky and rather ugly figure. But he deeply loved the hills, rivers and lakes around Sligo and these appear and reappear in his poems. This led to the blending of nature and the super-natural in the imagination of Yeats. When he was eight or nine years old his father read to him many works of the great novelist, Sir Walter Scott. These fired his imagination and he wished to turn a magician.
