Impressionable Quotes About him

• Algis Valiunas, W.B.Yeats was the greatest poet
  who wrote English during the 20th century
• Ezra Pound, He learns by emotion and is one of
  the few people who have had any, who know what
  violent emotion really is like, who see from the
  center of it-instead trying to look in from the
  rim. He devised the language to render the
  emotion.
