Speculation: Yeats probably had Asperger's syndrome. His awkwardness and eccentricity were legendary. He was fascinated with the occult, lost his virginity in middle age, and according to his wife, "had no interest in people as such, only in what they said or did." Like many persons with Asperger's, he had prosopagnosia, the inability to recognize faces. He could not identify his own daughter, and once inadvertently lectured T. S. Eliot on the many defects of Eliot's poetry. Yeats nearly died of brucellosis in 1929, but recovered thanks to shots of arsenic and horse serum. His brush with mortality inspired a quest to revive his sex drive, leading to a weird "rejuvenation" surgery. Gossips called him the "gland old man" and "a Cadillac engine in a Ford car." (from http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/2013/01/did-shakespeare-have-syphilis.html) likely he was trying Serge Voronoff's rejuvenation techniques, see Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes story The Adventure of the Creeping Man. It is speculative, but Voronoff may have opened the door tom HIV and AIDS transmission to humans in the 1970s. It was based on older, Pagan beliefs about physical organs containing the qualities of the creatures in which they grew, and Testosterone therapy. | Speculation: Yeats probably had Asperger's syndrome.

Йейтс, Уильям Батлер (родился 13.06.1865, в Ирландии, умер 28 января 1939 года в приморском местечке Рокебрюн на юге Франции) — ирландский поэт-символист, драматург и критик, визионер и мистик, вдохновитель культурного движения «Ирландское возрождение»; один из крупнейших поэтов XX века, лауреат Нобелевской премии по литературе (1924).
Йейтс состоял в Эзотерической секции Теософского общества, затем в возрасте 25 лет вступил в Герметический орден Золотой Зари, взяв в качестве магического девиза «Demon Est Deus Inversus» ("Дьявол обратная сторона Бога"). После распада ЗЗ еще около 20 лет проработал в главном из отколовшихся от нее обществ — Ордене Утренней Звезды под руководством Р.У. Фелкина.
В число важных достижений Йейтса в оккультной области входят теоретическая разработка «Кельтских мистерий» (к сожалению, так и не осуществленная на практике) и создание трактата «Видение» (1925; 2-е изд. 1937) — своего рода «ирландской книги мертвых», повествующей о круговороте реинкарнаций и посмертных странствиях души. Элик Хоув в своей книге "Маги Золотой Зари" рассказывает: Прояснить отношение Йейтса к магии помогает цитата из письма, написанного им Джону О’Лири, ветерану ирландского националистического движения в июле в 1892 года. Следует иметь в виду, что во Второй орден Йейтс был посвящен лишь полгода спустя , а именно во Втором ордене ему и другим членам G.D. открывалось о «магии» больше, чем они когда-либо предполагали узнать.
"Далее, что касается магии. Сущая нелепость — считать меня «слабаком» или чем-то в этом роде только потому, что я решил не отказываться от тех занятий, которые четыре или пять лет назад совершенно осознанно принял как главное, наряду с поэзией, дело своей жизни. Вредно это для моего здоровья или нет, может судить лишь тот, кто разбирается в магии, но отнюдь не какой-нибудь дилетант. […] Если бы магия в свое время не вошла в круг моих постоянных занятий, я не написал бы ни единого слова из книги о Блейке , да и «Графиня Кэтлин» не появилась бы на свет. Мистическая жизнь — это средоточие всего, что я делаю, всего, о чем я думаю, и всего, что я пишу."

Comments: Symbolist poet; Ceremonial Magick; Rosicrucian; from his 1920 poem, "The Second Coming" :
== Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned. The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity
