How Much do you know about Yeats Poetry?

  Author:  49348  Category:(Debate) Created:(2/10/2004 6:58:00 PM)

Hey all, I was wondering what everyone thought about the meanings and symbols behind Yeats Poem "Wild Swans At Coole" Here is a copy of the poem.

The trees are in their autumn beauty, The woodland paths are dry, Under the October twilight the water Mirrors a still sky; Upon the brimming water among the stones Are nine-and-fifty Swans.

The nineteenth autumn has come upon me Since I first made my count; I saw, before I had well finished, All suddenly mount And scatter wheeling in great broken rings Upon their clamorous wings.

I have looked upon those brilliant creatures, And now my heart is sore. All's changed since I, hearing at twilight, The first time on this shore, The bell-beat of their wings above my head, Trod with a lighter tread.

Unwearied still, lover by lover, They paddle in the cold Companionable streams or climb the air; Their hearts have not grown old; Passion or conquest, wander where they will, Attend upon them still.

But now they drift on the still water, Mysterious, beautiful; Among what rushes will they build, By what lake's edge or pool Delight men's eyes when I awake some day To find they have flown away?

Thanks for your time peoples lets hope this debate gets interesting!

Date: 2/11/2004 6:07:00 AM  From Authorid: 54987    If there was a debate here I would. I like the poem and can see the symbolism but that's about it really. You seem knowledgable about poetry, but not about the requirements for debate. You have to present an argument, and your position on that argument.  
Date: 2/11/2004 2:52:00 PM  From Authorid: 58809    I just want to say that I don't know much about Yeats. I do, however, know a little beat about Keats.  
Date: 2/11/2004 2:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 58809    bit* Sorry. And I second what Koolade said  
Date: 2/11/2004 4:38:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 49348    lol yeah debates arnt really my thing i wanted some opinion really  
Date: 2/11/2004 9:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    this is not a debate-it belongs in "discussion"  
Date: 2/12/2004 8:54:00 AM  From Authorid: 19613    If you want something more debatable, why not post Yeat's "Second Coming"? It would fit right in with all of those "are we living in the end times" posts, lol.  
Date: 2/14/2004 6:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 36754    he died really young from TB.. but he was an amazing poet.. he was classified as a Romantic poet.. using alot of nature imagery.. My fav poem by him is , "Bright Star. . ."  
Date: 2/16/2004 2:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 62222    The poem is even more interesting if you consider the fact that Swans are only beautiful when you see them from far away...When you get up close, you find that they are brutish and foul creatures. They make an abomidable hanking noise. They are pretty ugly too. Too me the poem is saying something about how our dreams are always more desirable when they are far away and etheral. When you get up close to something, you have to face the fact that it is made ugly by reality. Don't lose yourself in dreams. But I have seen a swan up close, and I think they are ugly...it is possible that someone out there still thinks they are beautiful even when they are close up.
