This is a song written from the perspective of an Irish poet W. B. Yeats about his unrequited love and muse, Maud Gonne, to whom he proposed five times. This reflects the themes of rejection, heartbreak, and obsession with one person (Monomania) present on the album, as well as Will Toledo’s past relationship. Featuring the inimitable Dan Kent on sax. This song, of course, is one giant ode to Yeats, and his great unrequited love. Judging by their wikipedia pages
