Abstract
The letter from Yeats to Francis Hackett which I deal with below was unearthed from among the unclassified Hackett-Toksvig Papers in the course of my present research on Francis Hackett and his Danish wife Signe Toksvig. It throws an interesting light on a connection which is practically forgotten, and also, I suggest, on one of Yeats’s poems.
