谁和William Butler Yeats约会过？

William Butler Yeats ( YAYTS; 13 June 1865 – 28 January 1939) was an Irish poet, dramatist, writer and literary critic who was one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival and, along with John Millington Synge and Lady Gregory, founded the Abbey Theatre, serving as its chief during its early years. He was awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Literature and later served two terms as a Senator of the Irish Free State.

A Protestant of Anglo-Irish descent, Yeats was born in Sandymount, Ireland. His father practised law and was a successful portrait painter. He was educated in Dublin and London and spent his childhood holidays in County Sligo. He studied poetry from an early age, when he became fascinated by Irish legends and the occult. While in London he became part of the Irish literary revival. His early poetry was influenced by John Keats, William Wordsworth, William Blake and many more. These topics feature in the first phase of his work, lasting roughly from his student days at the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin until the turn of the century. His earliest volume of verse was published in 1889, and its slow-paced, modernist and lyrical poems display debts to Edmund Spenser, Percy Bysshe Shelley and the poets of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

From 1900 his poetry grew more physical, realistic and politicised. He moved away from the transcendental beliefs of his youth, though he remained preoccupied with some elements including cyclical theories of life. He had become the chief playwright for the Irish Literary Theatre in 1897, and early on promoted younger poets such as Ezra Pound. His major works include The Land of Heart's Desire (1894), Cathleen ni Houlihan (1902), Deirdre (1907), The Wild Swans at Coole (1919), The Tower (1928) and Last Poems and Plays (1940).

Marguerite "Margot" Ruddock (1907–1951), who used the stage name Margot Collis, was an English actress, poet and singer. She had a relationship with W. B. Yeats starting in 1934. Their correspondence was published as Ah, Sweet Dancer (1970).

Yeats edited her poems for publication, but it is not clear how much change he made to them. He included some of them in the Oxford Book of Modern Verse, which he edited.

Some of her poems have been set as songs by the composer Robert Erickson.

She was married twice: first to John Collis, with whom she had a son, Michael, and secondly to Raymond Lovell, with whom she had a daughter, Simone Lovell. She died in 1951, when she was 44.

During her marriage to Raymond Lovell she had an affair with Yeats. When they met in 1934, Yeats was 69 and Ruddock`was 27. Their affair was conducted fitfully over the next few years. The affair broke down and Ruddock became mentally unstable. Some months later she followed Yeats (uninvited) out to the island of Majorca, where he was working with the Indian monk Shri Purohit Swami. Ruddock ended up in an asylum in Madrid from where she was rescued by Yeats and his friends, but later died in another institution, St. Ebba's Hospital in Epsom. Yeats' poem "A Crazed Girl" is believed to be inspired by Ruddock.

茉德·岡·麥克布萊德（Maud Gonne MacBride，1866年12月21日—1953年4月27日），是一名在英國出生的愛爾蘭革命家，女權主義者和演員。她讓世人熟知的莫過於她與威廉·巴特勒·叶芝之間曲折的感情糾葛。

埃蒂斯·茉德·岡出生于薩里郡費勒姆附近的通漢姆，她是第十七槍騎兵軍的湯瑪斯·岡上尉（1835-1886）的長女。其父的祖籍在蘇格蘭的凱斯內斯。她的母親名為埃蒂斯·弗裏斯·岡（Edith Frith Gonne，原姓Cook，1844-1871）。當她仍是孩童之時，其母便已離世。因此，岡被送往法國接受教育。

1882年的時候，她的父親——一名軍官——被派遣前往都柏林。

1890年，岡回到了法國。在那，她又一次遇見了Millevoye. 在他們在一起的1893到1895年間，他們生了兩個孩子。只有第二個孩子，名為Iseult Lucille Germaine Millevoye的女孩活了下來，這個女孩後來嫁給了一個名為Francis Stuart的愛爾蘭-奧地利小說家。 於1900年的復活節，她建立一個名為Inghinidhe na hÉireann（愛爾蘭之女）的革命女性社群。在1902年4月，她在由葉慈所寫的名為戲劇《凯丝琳女伯爵》 (Cathleen Ní Houlihan)中擔任女主角。她在那場演出中表現出了震驚四座的表演，因為那個劇本是專門為她量身定做的。

同年，茉德加入了羅馬天主教會。她拒絕了葉慈多次的求婚，理由是她覺得葉慈是一名不堅定的共和主義戰士，而且他也無意加入羅馬天主教（其中至少有一部分的原因是葉慈的神秘主義傾向，他當時是the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn教的主席）。 1903年，茉德於巴黎嫁給了約翰·麥克布萊德。次年，他們的兒子——西恩·麥克布萊德出生了。雖然這場失敗的婚姻以離婚告終，並且她的丈夫回到了愛爾蘭，而茉德則繼續留在巴黎到1917年。
