To comment on the effect with the women who leave or disappear, I noticed in "Ardour" that the men in town was discontent with the beautiful Ardour whether she was allowing winter or not. When they had the winter for months, they focused on a way to bring about her fall. When she abandons the forest with the son of the king, the peasants must work nonstop with no time for rest, and the king loses a son. Her influence over the outcome of so many lives displays the complete control she has. 

 Similar to Keats, Yeats, in his poem, introduces an enchanting woman who dictates the speaker's remaining life. Although the speaker is older in the concluding stanza, he remains focused on the physical beauty of this "glimmering girl." The narrator of "Ardour" focuses on the "breasts as steep as snow peaks." The women use their sexuality as a tool to control each situation they encounter and the men appear incapable of defending against the women.
