"Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen" is a poem by W. B. Yeats. It was included in his collection The Tower in 1928. The poem was likely influenced by Yeats’s knowledge of the 1920 killing of Eileen Quinn.[1][2][3][4][5] In the Critical Companion to William Butler Yeats, the poem was described as "the very definition of a major poem and a reasonable nominee as Yeats's magnum opus."[6]
