His hopes and wishes for his baby daughter, and, as usual, a tirade against Maud Gonne, who rejected him, and his hope that his daughter doesn't turn out like her.

  • Well, you see... Yeats was great but a bit obsessed with Maud, he put her on a pedestal and made her his muse and perhaps she didn't like how he couldn't get past that do they could be equals. Did Yeats love Maud or was he in love with his idea of her? For nine years when she was having an affair with a French officer in France, he never once suspected it! When she said it Yeats declared he had always imagined her as a tall tapering clandestine! Also Maud was catholic and felt uncomfortable wit

  • Oh, gee, why in heaven's name would any woman not want to marry a poet?? Especially one who will not take "no" for an answer??? What WAS she thinking? lol
