I love Yeats. Which other English-language poets approach his caliber?

Baylebridge. A very modern tone evolving out of the second half of the 19th century, within all the classic forms of English poetry.

Foiled was the way and long; with foot austere
I stepped where flower was nor exulting birds;
For, more than life, I held the issue dear.
And lo! I faced the troop that Victory girds,
And caught, in wonder, the auspicious words:
'So, thou are here!'

I couldn't ever get into his style or his substance. No wonder he became a poet only as a plan B.

great taste. Browning is clearly the OG poet's poet. What do you think of George Herbert?

Why do I always feel like I have seen somebody in the past who looked practically like the twin brother of Yeats despite never being able to pinpoint who I am thinking of? I feel like it was some sort of actor but I'm not sure.
