The Tower is a book of poems by W. B. Yeats, published in 1928. The Tower was Yeats's first major collection as Nobel Laureate after receiving the Nobel Prize in 1923. It is considered to be one of the poet's most influential volumes and was well received by the public. The title, which the book shares with the second poem, refers to Ballylee Castle, a Norman tower which Yeats purchased and restored in 1917. Yeats Gaelicized the name to Thoor Ballyllee, and it has retained the title to this day. Yeats often summered at Thoor Ballylee with his family until 1928.

  • Tornet (The Tower) är en diktsamling av William Butler Yeats, utgiven 1928.Titeln, vilken boken delar med dikt nummer två, anspelar på som Yeats köpte och bodde i en tid med sin familj. Boken innehåller flera av Yeats' mest kända dikter, däribland "Sailing to Byzantium", "Leda and the Swan", och "Among School Children". Tornet kombinerar personliga motiv med mytologi och historia. Ett viktigt tema är författarens förhållande till sitt åldrande. Den har jämförts med T. S. Eliots diktsamling Det öde landet. På svenska finns boken sedan 2012 i Brombergs serie Nobelklassiker. (sv)
