The first stanza of the poem captures the physical, sensual activity of the natural world at once marked by facundity and decay. The stanza describes the preoccupation of youth engaged in lovemaking , birds singing song , abudantlt fertile sea and the presence of " fish, flesh or fowl " all suggest an Ireland teeming with life and activity . But the sense of passage of time and the reality of eventual decay is underscored by the use of phase " dying generations " . It is in pursuit of the life of the soul that is not possible amidst youthful , feverish activity , that the poet undertakes a journey to Byzantium. In the second stanza, the poet refers to his stance and gives reason for his intended opting out of the world of decay. He opines that old age makes a man platry. It is difficult to listen to the metaphorical song of the soul in a world dominated by the literal song of the Birds and " sensual music " of youth . The final line of the stanza tells us that he has already reached Byzantium. The third stanza shows the poet praying to the saints and sages of byzantium for spiritual assistance. The sages are embodiment of wisdom and higher knowledge. The poet has abandoned the sensual music of the dying generations. His heart is sick with desire and fastened to a dying animal. His heart is the last seat of passion and ignorance. He requests the same to consume his heart sick with desire to instruct his soul and gather him into the artifice of eternity. The final stanza expresses the firm intention of the poet that having purged his base desire by spiritual aid , he will show all natural things and processes. He wishes to become a part of the dematerialized Byzantium world. He wishes to acquire the status and nature of art in becoming golden bird , much like those hammered and enamelled by the Grecian artist .The golden bird will be so lovely that it will keep even the drowsy empero's awake . The song of the bird harkens back to the first stanza of the poem where the poet sang of mortal pursuits, the poet will again be involved in the real world. In this way, the poem has a cyclical structure. It depicts that an absolute disjunction between body and soul , and by extension between nature and art is not possible .

I am very thankful to u sir..... Day after tomorrow I have my exam... N ur all poems, novels , dramas helped me alot.... Thanx a ton 😊 please reply if u read this comment
Respected sir your voices are clear and you explain it clearly. At last please explain the main theme. If you explain the theme its help us to easily understand.
The way of ur explanation is superb and it's helps me a lot but some poems and literary criticism which I need to understand that's are not available so can you please make a video on poem 'Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen' If you are going to make video on that topic so Plz reply me.. it's really important for me... Waiting for your answer..

Jab wo khud young tha tab to Maud Gonne k pichhe para tha uske baad Uski daughter se hi shadi karna chahta tha.... Ab jab old ho gaya to young lovers ka criticise kar raha h 😂😂😂😂
It means you don't know W.B Yeats closely...he is not exactly criticising the young generation love but he is actually saying we are stuck into this worldly pleasures so that we cannot understand the meaning of our life the purpose of our life... we are just taking birth living in the materialistic life and then dying...what we have contributed to this world??....do our birth contains meaning if our life can't be helpful to this world?he is the most symbolistic poet like Eliot... reading only his poems can't be meaningful if you don't know the background...
And Maud Gonne is strong and bold woman very active in Irish movement...she didn't want to call herself as W.B Yeats' wife by people rather than her own ...and W.B Yeats love for Maud gonne is so strong that he can't forget her and tried till last to be with Maud Gonne.... please read and do understand ans don't criticize with the half knowledge...I am not saying that criticism is wrong thing for a poet like Yeats but criticism should be done with proper knowledge ❤🙏🏻
Thnk u soo much sir.. Plz sir do upload vedio on post colonial literature. Like the handmaid's tale, voss, in the castle of my skin, etc if there is any possibility... I shall be highly thnkful for this..
Thnku sir I didn't see u before this video listen only Ur voice . According u Ur voice I thought Ur more age than Ur real age😃 but age is less according to ur voice .thnku sir for this video

Very nice sir but Byzantium is not an imaginary place. That was the old name of Constantinople which is later known as Istanbul
Metaphorically refers to an imaginary or ideal world
That was not Byzantium but Byzantine.
