Colm T贸ib铆n concludes his exploration of the complex relationships between three of Ireland's literary giants and their fathers:

T贸ib铆n turns to the romantic and occasionally erotic correspondence between John B Yeats and Rosa Butt, when the pair were in their sixties.

He then reflects on the influence that the father's boyish romance had on the writings of his son, the literary giant WB Yeats.

Abridged by Richard Hamilton.
