Maud Gonne and William Butler Yeats met in early 1889, and he first proposed to her unsuccessfully two years later. Some of Yeats's greatest poems chronicle his long obsession with her, among them A Woman Homer Sang, Reconciliation, and No Second Troy:What could have made her peaceful with a mind That nobleness made simple as a fire, With beauty like a tightened bow, a kind That is not natural in an age like this, Being high and solitary and most stern? Why, what could she have done, being what she is? Was there another Troy for her to burn? We tend to see Maud Gonne through his prisma firebrand, a great beauty, above all a political fanatic who made him suffer like mad. These letters tell a more complex tale, since the majority are hers, most of Yeats's having been destroyed. What he portrayed as extremism instead becomes deep political involvement: her letters record an endless round of meetings, protests, and good works. In addition, the concern she again and again manifests for Yeats mitigates his cries of indifference; rather, Maud Gonne emerges as steady and heroic. Even as she was preparing to marry John MacBride, she took time out to console her longtime suitor in a characteristic runon: 'Friend of mine au revoir. I shall go over to Ireland in a couple of months, if you care to see me I shall be so glad & you will find I think that I am just the same woman you have always known, marriage won't change me I think at all....' The editors declare the original letter 'very crumpled and creased as if carried in Yeats's pocket and taken out and read many times.'
