I don't know how many times you saved me and my grades this year. Thank you so so much. You're just amazing :)
You have interpreted this poem in the perspective that that Byzantium itself is a paradise! The descriptions of the images held our imaginations! ..i am singularly fortunate for getting the benefit of listening to your lecture..for ..you sincerely tried to throw clarity on these lines like.... Monuments of unaging intellect, a tattered coat upon a stick, sages standing in god's holy fire...and in the gold mosaic of a wall...set upon a golden bough to sing.....you have brought out the clear distinction between permanence and Evanescence......i am highly appreciative of your punctilious attention to all the devices the poet has used...in this poem....
Regards
......

Thank you so much mam. I really loved your class. Because of your classes we can able to understand the real theme of poetry. Hat's off mam
God sent, thank you so much. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Hello mam I can't express my love for you.you are help all readers of English department and NTA UGC Net aspirants.Thank you so much mam .
Wonderful explanation as ever! I just found a similarity between the old man journeying to Byzantium, having understood that this mortal, familiar world has become so foreign to him, and the old fellows 'cabined, cribbed and confined'(sarcastic, of course) in the grand mansions of the modernised world, hence, being sent to the 'Briddhasram' for 'refuge'.
But it's also a kind of similarity with a difference, I suppose. Because in the Byzantium poem, the old man is taking on a deliberate journey to the holy land, for achieving, what is known as, transcendental peace(moksha), whereas in the Briddhasram song, the old people are forced to leave the apartment by their successors.
Everything is crystal clear...mam your have delivered an immensely valuable lecture...
Your videos are the artifice of eternity 🎉🎉
Thank you so much ma'am for simplifying the ideas and thoughts that went into composing this masterpiece. I went through so many critical comments and essays, but nevertheless it became more difficult to understand the crux of the poem.

Tie-ins to The Golden Bough by James Frazer. The golden bough in The Aeneid that Aeneas used to pay the toll to Charon to visit his father in the Underworld. Influence of poem on No Country For Old Men (film and the novel it was based on).
Well explained mam. Really helpful
Love you mam for your beautiful explanations
I feel this poem was more like a transforming poem both for yeats and for the readers. The poem uses the word gold here which can be taken as a symbol of peace but if we look from another perspective it will not be wrong to say that the recurring word gold or golden can be a modern world which only keeps floating on the artificial shine or glamour. Gold is a metal which captures the beauty of the buyer and so the poet wants to be captured just like the gold so that people don't forget him. He tries hard to be remembered though the nature of the world is to be forgotten. Thank you ma'am for this amazing explanation ❤🌈
I am so lucky to have you as a viewer as well

Ma'am; You've shared some more valuable points which points excited me to say something. This poem is of my 3rd semister syllabus at BHU one week ago my prof have completed this poem. Her explanation was also better but she didn't delivered more relative points about this poem. I don't know why she did it by the way. Ur explanation is far better than my BHU prof.
