    Children In "Among School Children"‚ Yeats speaks to an upcoming generation that is too preoccupied with preparation. The philosophy of this work suggests that life prepares us for what never happens. Consistent with Yeats’ message in other works‚ it follows the dogma: ignorance brings innocence‚ whereas knowledge brings chaos. With acquired wisdom‚ consciousness produces a chaotic state within the individual‚ causing conflict within the soul and mind. Yeats’ main focus is ignorant bliss in this

Commentary One of the most unusual features of Yeats’s poetic career is the fact that the poet came into his greatest powers only as he neared old age; whereas many poets fade after the first burst of youth‚ Yeats continued to grow more confident and more innovative with his writing until almost the day he died. Though he was a famous and successful writer in his youth‚ his poetic reputation today is founded almost solely on

    To Yeats‚ his ideas of the Irish politics of his time were never far from his modernist poems.
