Per Amica Silentia Lunae



"In 1890, Maud Gonne had a son with the French journalist and agitator Lucien
Millevoye. The child died a year later. Yeats wrote in his autobiography that "The idea came to her that the lost child might be reborn, and she had gone back to Millevoye, in the vault under the memorial chapel. A girl child was born, now two years old" (Memoirs 133)."
