Yeats is one of the most esteemed poets in 20th century literature and is well known for his Irish poetry. While Yeats was born in Ireland, he spent most of his adolescent years in London with his family. It wasn’t until he was a teenager that he later moved back to Ireland. He attended the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin and joined the Theosophical Society soon after moving back.

The poets of the Romantic Movement also found a great deal to criticize about the Industrial Revolution. The new technologies and their use grew out of eighteenth-century

Death in Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen is portrayed through the use of vivid imagery. The poet makes the reader seem as if he is present at the event due to the use of figurative language used to portray death. He creates a horrendous image by the use of diction.

core of the poem. There is almost an envious tone in this statement. The streams may be cold, but the swans have one another. They are united, and time does not seem to touch them. ''Their hearts have not grown old''. This is similarly true of An Irish Airman Foresees His Death (IAF), when the poet muses on Robert Gregory's decision to volunteer for service in the nascent British Air Force. Speaking as Gregory, he says, "A lonely impulse of delight drove to this tumult in the clouds." The image of
