-Abstract
Both William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) and Ahmed Shawqi (1868-1932) are two celebrated literary figures who have their prominent place in the realm of literature in general and of poetry in particular. Their poetry reflects to a great extent their attachment to the heritage of their respective countries, Ireland and Egypt that have long suffered from the same plague; the British occupation. Both of them have been dedicated supporters of national independence and, therefore, they have tried through their poetry to plant such patriotic feelings in the hearts and minds of young readers. In 1923 Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. In 1927 Shawqi was given the title of poet laureate or “Prince of Poets" (Amir Al Shuara) a title which has never been given to any other poet in Egypt or in the entire Arab world. Shawqi introduced the genre of poetic drama to Arabic literature. Both Shawqi and Yeats are great poets and dramatists who have contributed to the literary movement of their respective countries Ireland and Egypt.
