Maud Gonne was an English-born Irish revolutionary and actress, best known for her relationship with W.B. Yeats.\u00a0 She was won over to Irish nationalism by the plight of evicted people in the Land Wars.\u00a0 She acted in various plays written by Yeats.\u00a0 She never accepted Yeats\u2019s many marriage proposals because she viewed him as insufficiently radical in his nationalism, but also because she believed his unrequited love for her had been a boon for his poetry and that \u201cthe world should thank her for never having accepted his proposals.\u201d<\/p>\n
