"Sailing to Byzantium" by William Butler Yeats describes the metaphorical journey of a man pursuing his own vision of eternal life through a portion of an old man’s journey to Constantinople.
That is __ _____ ___ ___ ___. The young
In one another's arms, birds in the trees
- Those dying generations - at their song,
The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,
Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long
Whatever is begotten, born, and dies.
Caught in that sensual music all neglect
Monuments of unageing intellect.
