Ghosts of Gonne and Yeats

by Skyler on September 2nd, 2009

Quick photo updates from my ongoing trip to Ireland, the UK and France in search of sites and artifacts from the lives of Irish poet laureate W.B. Yeats and his lover, Irish revolutionary and Golden Dawn occultist Maud Gonne, to be used as research for my upcoming book, ‘In Dreams Begin‘.

Howth is a little peninsula where Maud’s nanny lived in retirement and where Yeats and Maud had some of their happiest days, both alone and together.
