A cursory Google search doesn't reveal the date of this quote. Do you know if it was before or after Yeats's version of 1919? (Wikipedia claims that Yeats was inspired by Shelley...)

Ah, thank you. So it is quite likely that he had read the Yeats, then.

For all I know, it could be misattributed. From a random quotable file.
