When you are old and gray and full of sleep And nodding by the fire‚ take down this book‚ And slowly read‚ and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once‚ and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace‚ And loved your beauty with love false or true; But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you‚ And loved the sorrows of your changing face. And bending down beside the glowing bars‚ Murmur‚ a little sadly‚ how love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead‚ And hid

In the poem “When You Are Old‚” by W.B. Yeats‚ the speaker is addressing a bygone lover of his. Through the poem the speaker is both loving and haughty towards the woman. The speaker appears to be very fond of the woman‚ but he is also somewhat vain and self absorbed. He speaks to her with love and sincerity at some points in the poem; then he also addresses her in a tone that is far from love and is bordering on haughty disposition. The diction and imagery play vital roles in creating the tone

This is a very somber‚ regretful and resigned poem. It has a quiet‚ dreamlike feeling to it‚ achieved by an undulating rhyme scheme (ABBA) and use of soft-sounding‚ uncomplicated words that are nevertheless powerful. The theme is the painful one of unrequited love‚ which Yeats manipulates in an interesting manner. Instead of focusing upon the present or the past‚ as is usually the case with this often used theme‚ Yeats looks to the future‚ a future in which the two people in the poem are destined

No‚ because despite the minor setbacks or choices that these people made they managed to turn their ‘failures’

Failure is a relative term. What one perceives as failure‚ may not be exactly what another might. The failure I have experienced in the past year has not been conventional. I did not fail any classes‚ or fail at making friends at the University of Arizona‚ I simply failed at throughly understanding how much the University of Colorado Boulder meant to me. That might sound corny‚ but when you grew up coming to every sporting event your dad could take you to‚ you fall in love with CU pretty easily.
