William Butler Yeats (pronounced /ˈjeɪts/; 13 June 1865 – 28 January 1939) was an Irish poet and dramatist, and one of the foremost figures of 20th century literature. A pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments, in his later years Yeats served as an Irish Senator for two terms. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival, and along with Lady Gregory and Edward Martyn founded the Abbey Theatre, serving as its chief during its early years. In 1923 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for what the Nobel Committee described as "inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation." He was the first Irishman so honored. Yeats is generally considered one of the few writers who completed their greatest works after being awarded the Nobel Prize; such works include The Tower (1928) and The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1929).

Yeats was born and educated in Dublin but spent his childhood in County Sligo. He studied poetry in his youth, and from an early age was fascinated by both Irish legends and the occult. Those topics feature in the first phase of his work, which lasted roughly until the turn of the century. His earliest volume of verse was published in 1889, and those slow paced and lyrical poems display debts to Edmund Spenser and Percy Bysshe Shelley, as well as to the Pre-Raphaelite poets. From 1900, Yeats' poetry grew more physical and realistic. He largely renounced the transcendental beliefs of his youth, though he remained preoccupied with physical and spiritual masks, as well as with cyclical theories of life. Over the years, Yeats adopted many different ideological positions, including, in the words of the critic Michael Valdez Moses, "those of [the] radical nationalist, classical liberal, reactionary conservative and millenarian nihilist".

When was the poem, entitled "Death" by William Butler Yeats written?
Q. I need to know so that I can accurately skim through Yeats' biography and find out what he was experiencing at the time he wrote the poem. Thank you.

A. Do you mean 'A Dream of Death' ? Published/Written in 1893

What did Yeats mean when he said this of Nietzsche?
Q. But why does Nietzsche think the night has no stars, nothing but bats and owls and the insane moon?

A. No one can really answer that but Yeats himself, of course. But the most likely explanation is that he found Nietzsche's viewpoint to be particularly grim and gloomy. Nor has he been the only one... Nietzsche is often erroneously labelled as a nihilist. If he read the book near when it was originally published in 1887 it might explain the difference between that view and the one portrayed in Yeats' poem "The Second Coming" that he wrote in 1919 (link 1, one of my favourites). It took Yeats WW1 to bring him around to a similarly gloomy point of view.
