It is harsh exercise to put into cold print and to bare all the
faults of such subjective things as letters written in great haste
in the middle of a busy active life, and it requires the kindness
and tolerance of the reader. Nuances in the handwriting, or
insertion of omitted words and afterthoughts, or positioning of
postscripts, are all lost in printing; while irregularities in
spelling, punctuation, abbreviations and repetitious phrases are
exaggerated. The few of Yeat s letters to Maud Gonne that have
survived were scattered through old bundles of correspondence. The
only two kept particularly safe were together in an envelope, one
marked last letter from W. B. Y. which was written on 16 June 1938
from Steyning, Sussex, and the other a letter concerning the death
of William Sharp which he had asked her to keep safely and which
she must have put in a separate place, and so it survived. The
letters he received from her before her marriage of 10 and 24
February 1903, had been very crumpled as if carried around in his
pocket and reread many times, then smoothed out to be put away with
the others."
