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).
