Three Women In W.B Yeats’s Life.

Three Women In W.B Yeats’s Life.
William Butler Yeats was born near Dublin in 1805; his childhood was spent mainly in London.
It is important to know a little about the three women in Yeats’s life.
Maud Gonne a beautiful but strong-minded girl with whom he fell in love and remained in love for many year (she appears often in his poetry, even in later years when he is offended by her intellectual and political arrogance, which he saw as unwomanly); Lady Gregory, an aristocratic patron of the arts, who collaborated with Yeats on Abbey Theatre in Dublin and other projects; and His Wife, whom he married when he was fifty-two and who brought a fulfillment and stability into his work which it had previously lacked.
