Sir, – I have been dipping into the wonderful supplement on WB Yeats (“WB Yeats at 150”, June 10th and available online). It is a really inspiring and comprehensive summation of his influence on poets and ordinary citizens of Ireland and beyond.
The double-page photographic spread on the poet's life journey is marvellous, as is the reproduction of the early manuscript of The Stolen Child, which I will cherish. Congratulations to all involved in a brilliant publication. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – In all the shenanigans around Willie, why little or no mention of his glorious wife, George Hyde-Lees Yeats, without whom he could not have written his great poems? – Yours, etc,
