Popis: The self-division between an artist and a political activist that Yeats struggled with in the last years of the nineteenth century led him, as we have seen, to conceive of the idea of poetical culture which found the contemplation of literature and drama to be the foundation of life. However, Yeats never fully accepted that aesthetic vision of life, and by the time it was given a thorough expression in IGE, he had already gone past it.
