While Eliot is considered the father of Modernism, Yeats is considered the father of the Irish Renaissance.  Nevertheless, Yeats was influenced by Eliot and his work, a fact that puzzled him.  While Yeats was a well known poet before Eliot came on the scene, Yeats applauded Eliot's first poem and Eliot's influences can be seen in bits and pieces of Yeats' work.  In Eliot's later career, Yeats was a huge antagonist, criticizing and tearing apart not only Eliot's poetry, but his personal life as well.
