Place
There are four locations that loom large in Yeats' life, each of which nourished his personality and art in different ways. Sligo was his window to his Celtic heritage and to the myths on which he drew heavily in his poetry and drama. Dublin was the center of his political activity as both a prominent nationalist voice and, later, a free state senator. London was the hub of his society life, and the locale in which he first met Maud Gonne. And Paris was where he deepened his interest in the occult with his heavy involvement in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
