Which word best describes W.B. Yeats's attitude toward his imitators in this poem? >> To a Poet, Who Would Have Me Praise Certain Bad Poets, Imitators of His and Mine
I think he has low regard for those who imitate his
works. This can best be seen when he
asks the question does a dog praises the fleas in his body. Like the dog I think he is very much annoyed
that people imitate his work and as a result would not praise them.
