Page "Madame George" Paragraph 5

In April 2007 Tom Nolan wrote an article in The Wall Street Journal suggesting that Madame George was none other than Georgie Hyde-Lees, wife of Irish poet and mystic W. B. Yeats who acted as Yeats ' muse through automatic writing and inducing trances.

He cites the ever present interest in Yeats by Morrison, and the words in the song: " That's when you fall into a trance / Sitting on a sofa playing games of chance / With your folded arms in history books you glance / Into the eyes of Madame George.
