Selections from William Butler Yeats' poetry from 1918 to 1928 revealing his love for 'Leda", a young Catholic 'country wench'. Read how their affair was curtailed by Yeats's wife, George, who falsely convinced the Minster of Justice that she was a Republican spy. The sudden, unexpected termination of Yeats's plans to remarry, and his associated enforced abandonment of his illegitimate son were stifled by the authorities, as his verse shows.
