	Maud Gonne: Yeats' Cathleen Ní Houlihan, Ireland's Joan of Arc -- The Wild Geese Today

		Maud Gonne MacBride is buried in the Republican plot in Dublin's famous Glasnevin Cemetery, a fitting final tribute to the woman some called Ireland's Joan of Arc.

		Yet, at the same time, he wrote that he used to puzzle Maud Gonne by always avowing ultimate defeat as a test and he believed that his spiritual love for Maud could never be consummated except through sexual union, supporting the idea that the 'mystic way and sexual love' are inextricably related (Levine 125, 127).

	SparkNotes: Yeats's Poetry: Context
		He fell immediately in love with her, and remained so for the rest of his life; virtually every reference to a beloved in Yeats's poetry can be understood as a reference to Maud Gonne.
		Tragically, Gonne did not return his love, and though they remained closely associated (she portrayed the lead role in several of his plays), they were never romantically involved.
		Partly because of his love for the politically active Maud Gonne, Yeats devoted himself during the early part of his career to the Literary Revival and to Irish patriotism, seeking to develop a new religious iconography based on Irish mythology.

	W. B. Yeats, Maud Gonne, and Nicholas Flamel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Maud Gonne had caused a deep crisis in Yeats' unrequited devotion to her by getting married to Major MacBride in 1903, himself a revolutionary activist who was to be a court-martialed and shot in the the aftermath of the 1916 Easter Uprising.
		The cycle of eight poems with their culmination in "No Second Troy"/ "Reconciliation" are in consequence read as an attempt by Yeats to come to terms with the crisis of his relationship to Gonne, particularly with regard to his idealisation of women in general, and of Maude's revolutionary activities in particular.
		Gonne had played the part of Cathleen with an eerie, electrifying intensity that was neither lost on Yeats nor on the plays' audience.

		Maud Gonne was born in Aldershot, England, in 1866; her adored father, an English Army officer, brought the family to live in Ireland when his regiment was posted there.

		In 1938, five months before his death, Yeats wrote to Gonne: "I want you...to come here to tea at 4:30...a motor will call for you at 4....I have wanted to see you for a long time but...." She went, and it was the last time she saw him.

	The Alsop Review
		Maud Gonne is said to look like Leda—she has a "Ledaean body"—but she is also called a "daughter of the swan." Leda is not a "daughter of the swan"; she is mortal.
		In asserting that Gonne is a daughter of the swan, Yeats is asserting that she is at least half divine.
		(Maud Gonne was of course also "worshipped" by Yeats, who wrote poem upon poem about her.) The reference to the mother in these lines connects powerfully with lines in the fifth stanza, where Yeats wonders whether being born is worth it.
