The Tower, a poetry collection by W.B. Yeats is a profound exploration of various themes through the lens of Yeats's rich imagination and deep personal experiences. This collection reflects Yeats's transition from the romantic vision of his earlier works to a more somber, complex understanding of the world. It delves into topics like aging, the nature of creativity, the tension between life and art, and the personal struggles of the poet.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an Irish poet and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. A pillar of the Irish literary establishment, he helped to found the Abbey Theatre, and in his later years served two terms as a Senator of the Irish Free State. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival along with Lady Gregory, Edward Martyn and others. He was awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Literature, and later served two terms as a Senator of the Irish Free State.
