🎧 One Sentence Introduction!

• Yeats was more than just Ireland’s national poet. His life moved from romantic dreamer to modernist prophet, but he always carried Ireland’s myths, politics, and hopes in his writing. Through poems like The Lake Isle of Innisfree, Easter 1916, and The Second Coming, he turned personal feeling into cultural prophecy. What really stands out is his “aristocratic spirit”: not privilege, but dignity, refinement, and responsibility to art and nation. Even today, Yeats reminds us that poetry can keep history alive and give meaning to uncertain times.

🎧 一句话总结中文版！

• 叶芝不仅仅是爱尔兰的民族诗人。他的人生从浪漫主义到现代主义，但始终把爱尔兰的神话、政治与希望融入诗歌。《茵尼斯弗利湖岛》《1916复活节》《第二次降临》把个人情感升华为文化预言。他最特别的地方在于“贵族精神”：不是特权，而是高贵、修养和责任。直到今天，他仍提醒我们，诗歌能让历史鲜活，为不确定的时代赋予意义。
