Maud Gonne

Explanation:

The poet W. B. Yeats wrote poems inspired by Maud Gonne: "Broken Dreams" and "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven"; some others had references to her. She was his beloved, and had great influence in his poetry, although they never had an affair, and she rejected the repeated proposals he had made, which resulted in a troublesome period in his life.
