Swans at Coole by W.B Yeats is one of musicality as it is a direct expression of personal feelings‚ identified as the author’s. The lyrical poem includes three main subjects: setting‚ serving as a correlative to these feelings‚ Swans as the trigger‚ and the poet himself.

During the year of 1916‚ Yeats’ spirits were low

Since today is a freewrite‚ I’m going to be entirely honest and say that I read the entire book the first night that we had it. I know that probably messed up my reactions to all the journal prompts‚ but today I want to write specifically about Mitch. Mitch in general just seemed incredibly insincere to me.

the juxtaposition by the “sore heart” of an “aging poet”‚ with the “brilliant creatures” whose “hearts have not grown old”. In addition to this physical pain‚ it is the sense of loss that signifies humanity’s desire for something that is lasting.

The water imagery throughout described as detailed observations of “brimming” and his careful observations of the swans displays his meditation and appreciation

In What Ways is W.B. Yeats a Political Poet William Butler Yeats is political poet in many ways. Indeed‚ there is much correlation between his political beliefs and his written work.
