Iseult Gonne (1894-1954) was the illegitimate daughter of Maud Gonne, the celebrated Irish republican revolutionary, actress, suffragette and long-time muse of Irish poet W. B. Yeats. When Yeat’s romantic advances to Maud failed, he turned his attentions on Iseult - some 29 years his junior. She refused him and eventually eloped with Irish writer Francis Stuart when he was just 17 years old, she 26.

Just imagine if these outtakes made it into EATEOT, the project would've been over seven hours! I love how "I Might Be Vanishing" is a stark contrast from other tracks, being only nine seconds. 913GA
