Among other activities in Dublin, he founded (with his wife Gretta) the Irish Vegetarian Society
Joyce despised the Belfast man’s writing but accepted his hospitality, staying with Cousins and his wife in Sandymount in mid-June 1904, a pivotal time.
Even so, he paid tribute to both in his Dubliners stories. Gretta gave her name to that book’s most famous female protagonist, from The Dead, while Cousins is believed to have been the physical model for Chandler in A Little Cloud. In a joint biography, We Two Together, Gretta recalled that she had been left “white and thin” during her first year of marriage by the shock of what lovemaking involved: “Something in me revolted then, and has ever since protested against, certain of the techniques of nature connected with sex.”
Yeats had come to dislike Cousins’s writing by 1903 and thereafter marginalised him. The Belfast man in turn hated the new realism of Synge and others. His Irish nationalism and interest in Theosophy also left him increasingly at odds in his day-job, as a teacher in Dublin’s High School.
