Great Regulars: After attending school in Hammersmith, England,

and pursuing poetry in Ireland, he [William Butler Yeats] published his first poems in the Dublin University Review. Yeats' first collection, "The Wanderings of Oisin," appeared in 1889.

It is impossible to mention Yeats without mentioning his muse, the fiery Irish patriot Maud Gonne, whom he met in 1889. Her exquisite beauty, coupled with her bravery, inspired many of his works.
