A bit partisan surely. I would say that Thomas Hardy runs him close, and there might be those who would say that Hardy is better. As for expanding it, my biographical knowledge of Yeats is tiny, and I do not even have his complete works, let alone any knowledge of the critical views.  --[[User:Martin Wyatt|Martin Wyatt]] 21:38, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

I have added some bare facts about his life (and modified the statement about greatest lyric poet, as I would say that Thomas Hardy runs him close on lyricism, and there might even be those who would say that Hardy is better). The article still needs a proper expansion. --Martin Wyatt (talk) 19:00, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
The unqualified statement still appears in the "definition" above. Peter Jackson (talk) 10:02, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
