One wonders to what extent this was a projection of his earlier confused and obsessive fixation on Maud Gonne, who rejected him in favour of the militant republican John MacBride.”
• https://www.patheos.com/blogs/marginalia/2023/03/charley/ Story of Charles Johnston and William Butler Yeats childhood friendship and later co-founding Dublin Hermetic Society, and more. — “Soon after his enrollment, Charley met another new student, a 'lanky youth, with shaggy black hair,' named William Butler Yeats. The two boys would become fast friends. 'Some instinct drew us together,' Yeats would later say. 'Willie Yeats and I gravitated together,' Charley would confirm. They bonded over a shared interest in science, and enjoyed experimenting 'in physics, chemistry, and electricity, with some homemade contrivances,' to varying degrees of success. '[Yeats] was a rabid Darwinian,' Charley would say, 'and, like all new proselytes, longed for a convert; and I, as his school chum, was the natural prey.' Charley was more sympathetic of spiritual matters.”
