[Rex Coleridge]

Yeats or Keats who is the better poet?

[Tim Murphy]

Keats was fabulously talented, but Yeats is the greater poet. He lived to a ripe old age and playing so central a role in his country, he just had a lot more life experience to impart. And of course King Billy left us a far larger body of work.

[Michael Cantor]

Keats had the quick bat and was a better fielder, but Yeats could hit for power and, as Tommy Eliot said, he came to play.

In other words, ridiculous questions deserve ridiculous answers.

[R.A. Briggs]

Meh. What has either of them written lately?

[Roger Slater]

Fair question, given that their last names differ only by a single question.

[Jesse Anger]

Nice one, Roger. What does when have to do with which, Rachael? It's Yeats by a long measure of mummy cloth if you ask me.

I think Rachael has her tongue firmly in cheek. After all, what did either of them do in comparison to Justin Timberlake? Did they try to bring sexy back? I think not.

Best,

Ed


P.S. I have to go with Yeats.

[Gail White]

I am a huge Yeats fan and at times in my life he has been my favorite poet, but he also had a much higher Silly Notions quotient than Keats, and for overall intelligence, I think Keats comes out on top.

I don't know, but Wyatt > Coleridge.

Your question could only be settled in a new episode of the Epic Rap Battles of History series.

Yeats or Keats,
Who whom beats,
Higher rates,
Keats or Yeats?
Are debates
Keats v. Yeats
Wastes of time
Like this rhyme?
