Entre os seus restantes trabalhos, destacam-se : The Wanderings of Oisin (1889) ; John Sherman (1891); Os poemas de Guilherme Blake (1893), colecção estudada e comentada das obras dêste poeta; Poemas e histórias várias (1935) ; Selecção de poemas líricos e narrativos (1939) ; Fighting the Waves (19Z9), comédia: The Winding Stair (1929) ; The Words upon the Window-pane (1930), drama ; The cat and the moon (1931), drama. etc. A vasta e valiosa obra literária que compôs deu motivo a que lhe fôsse conferido, em 1923, o prémio Nobel. Yeats foi senador pelo Estado Livre da Irlanda. In early 1917 Yeats bought Thoor Ballyle, a derelict Norman stone tower near Coole Park. After restoring it, the tower became his summer home and a central symbol in his later poetry. In 1917 he married Georgie Hyde-Lee. During their honeymoon Yeats's wife demonstrated her gift for automatic writing. Their collaborative notebooks formed the basis of A Vision (1925), a book of marriage therapy spiced with occultism. In 1932 Yeats founded the Irish Academy of Letters and in 1933 he was briefly involved with the fascist Blueshirts in Dublin. In his final years Yeats worked on the last version of A Vision, which attempted to present a theory of the variation of human personality, and published The Oxford Book Of Verse (1936) and New Poems (1938). Yeats died on January 28, 1939 at the Hôtel Idéal Séjour, in Menton, France. |
