Yeats wrote it for Maud Gonne, the Irish suffragette. It’s a beautifully heartrending poem in which the poet emphasises that his love transcends mere physical considerations, and will endure, unwavering

Shakespeare’s only son Hamnet, died age eleven, and was buried on 11 August 1596. In King John (which was probably written in 1596), believing her son Arthur to be doomed, Constance bewails her loss every bit as convincingly as if this were Shakespeare’s own grief –perhaps it is.
