Feelings of longing and loss are very natural for men and women in love. Being profoundly influenced by the Romantics and Pre-Raphalites in his early years, as well as several female figures in his early life, Yeats’s early love poems are full of romantic longing and loss induced by and projected to different women. Of them Maud Gonne is the chief poetic Muse inspiring young Yeats’s ceaseless passionate longing and frustrated loss. Besides Maud Gonne, the imagined woman in the Crossways and Olivia Shakespear to whom Yeats addresses several poems in The Wind Among The Reeds also induce certain longing and loss from the poet. They together help shape Yeats’s concept of love and woman and eventually contribute to making him a great love poet.
