Yeats dual wielded Romanticism and Modernism masterfully. Hard to beat.

Yeats is of course a greater poet, a simple consequence of greater maturity and productivity, but you could argue that Keats was more original and important in that he laid the basis for so many more poets like Tennyson, Rossetti, Swinburne, Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams and Yeats himself.

I agree completely. Keats productivity considering his short life-span is inspiring. There's immense beauty and some sort of youthful prowess. However, it cannot deliver the same wealth of a created world of words like the one written by Yeats over decades.
