He encouraged such ministrations but certainly had no intentions of being changed. The poet chose for his bride Caitlin Macnamara, an Irish woman as flighty and flamboyant as himself, and promised her before their wedding, "You'll never, I'll never let you, grow wise, and I'll never, you shall never let me, grow wise, and we'll always...
