For poetry fair use:
[[William Butler Yeats]] quotes 8 out of 22 lines from the poem, "The
Second Coming", which was first published in 1922, but surely has a
later copyright due to republication in collected works, etc.
No, if it was first published in 1922, then it's in the public domain
period. Later republications of the identical poem don't extend the
copyright (otherwise, that would be a loophole to drive a truck
through).
