    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 Ma'am.🌸🙏💕

  • @sagnikmukherjee9778
    @sagnikmukherjee9778 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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'.

    • @sagnikmukherjee9778
      @sagnikmukherjee9778 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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 ❤🌈
