So I wrote about Yeats and I am just not done with this guy ...yet. I wanted to comment on his clear obsession with Maude. Although I feel a guy should never be that hung over a girl, maybe it is one of those things I won't understand til it happens to me...or maybe he is...special. What I can relate about his obsession is how throughout his poems you can see how he some days feels good about loving her, some days he is frustrated and some days he just is. For instance, "Aedh wishes His Beloved were Dead" compared to "Aedh wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" speak differently to me. In one he wishes for them to be submissive and his but at the same time frustrated if it ere that way because then she wouldn't be what he loves. On the other hand he wishes for what he has not to give to her, so you can see how Yeats was human through this obsession, and sometime came to reason and saw it could not work but then his heart guided other days or moments. Never thought I would get into poems like this...
