INKLINGS Q & A: Who are these two gentleman and which one was an Inkling?
A: On the right is W. B. Yeats. On the left is his friend Charles Williams. Besides his fellow Inklings C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, Williams was also a friend of W. B. Yeats, as well as T. S. Eliot, and W. H. Auden. (As a young man, C. S. Lewis also met Yeats, who he later described to his brother Warren as a fascinating blend of poet, wizard, lunatic, and "the most eloquent drunk Irishman you know.")
