who is greater Yeats or Keats?

[cafolini]

Since gunpowder was invented, there is no greater among the great, and perhaps not even great. Neither.

Mozart in spite of his early death quite clearly stands at the pinnacle of classical music with only J.S. Bach clearly above him. But yes... Keats was an unrivaled prodigy.

I liked this post the most. I suppose simply because it agrees with my opinions!
I revere Bach and Mozart too, in that order, with Beethoven a bit further behind... although I put Bach first, I wouldn't go so far as to say he was "clearly above" Mozart! Still, one must give opinions some leeway, we are not dealing with objective fact here...

And Keats... absolute, unexceedable genius... though I value Shakespeare and Shelley more, the latter my especial favourite though I wouldn't try to sell him to another as better than Shakespeare...

I can simply quantify my love for poets by the number of lines I know by heart, and for composers by the number of their works I can recognise as being theirs..

From first impression after reading both names Yeats and Keats sound and look the same so I would say both are equally similar.
