Michael Robartes and the Dancer
1920
Michael Robartes and the Dancer is a poetry collection by W. B. Yeats, first published in 1920. Written between 1914 and 1919, the poems explore themes of love, beauty, and existential inquiry through a dialogue between the titular characters, Michael Robartes and his love interest. The collection reflects the political and social issues of early 20th-century Ireland, particularly in the wake of the 1916 Easter Rising, and includes notable poems such as 'Easter, 1916' and 'The Second Coming.' Yeats's intricate use of imagery and philosophical musings marks this work as a significant contribution to modern poetry.
