Who wrote "The Second Coming"?

  1. Yeats

  2. Eliot

  3. Dickinson

  4. Milton

The correct answer is: Yeats

"The Second Coming" is a famous poem written by the Irish poet W.B. Yeats in 1919. Yeats was a prominent figure in the Irish literary renaissance and is known for his use of symbolism and mythology in his work. This poem, in particular, is often seen as a reflection of the turbulent political, social, and religious changes happening in Ireland at the time. It is unlikely that T.S. Eliot, Emily Dickinson, or John Milton wrote "The Second Coming" as they were not known for writing on Irish themes and their writing styles differ significantly from Yeats'. Therefore, A Yeats, is the correct answer.
