"Lake Isle of Innisfree":


"Sailing to Byzantium" ]]> 2017-03-22 14:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/yeatspoetry/wish/161821317 David...When You Are Old https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/yeatspoetry/wish/161822528 This one is about an old lady who is looking back on a picture book of photos taken in her past. At one point it talks about the only man who actually loved her so it gives away she is looking at photos of her love. Which then the says he is above the mountains and in the stars implying that he died.   
THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE
The guy goes to the wild so he can have peace but can't stay there for ever and has to leave but he says when he is on the pavment home he still can hear all the peacfulness from the woods in his head.
SAILING TO BYZANTUM
An old man dies and is looking back at his glory days in the country and has nothing to show for it so in the end he goes and sees God with the gold walls.

Many people can confess fake love throughout your life, but one person will love all your stories you will tell.  

"The Lake Isle of Innisfree"
Yeats compares the bland boringness of everyday gray roadway to the beautiful blue flowing lake. 

"Sailing to Byzantium" 
I believe he is saying that he wishes to become something more durable and longer lasting than nature-made humans.

In lines 1-4 the author sets up kind of a reminiscent scene of sorrow because they are old now and having a hard time but thinking about being young helps. 
In  lines 5-8 they continue to reminisce  on their life and what was loved about them.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree
The author talks  about a person whose ideal life is to live alone in this cabin and grow their beans and listen to bees along with other sounds from nature and all the different sights along with it.

Sailing to Byzantium
When he says there is no country for old men I think he means that he feels forgotten because he cannot be such a major part of the community anymore so he travels to Byzantium where he is welcomed religiously.

He want's to go to innisfree where it's peaceful.His heart want's him to go. Older generations die. All an old man does it think about his glory days. So he goes to stand before god. https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/yeatspoetry/wish/161824106

In When You Are Old. He talks as if when you are old all you want to do is think about your life back when you were young and try to "relive" the past. The Lake Isles of Innisfree this person wants to escape the world to live in this glade however in the last stanza it seems like he woke from a dream, but will remember that place. Then in Sailing to Byzantium seems that older generations must die in order for the newer one to move on ]]> 2017-03-22 14:11:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/yeatspoetry/wish/161824447 Gabby https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/yeatspoetry/wish/161824592 "When You Are Old" is kind of a sorrowful poem. An elderly lady is reminiscing on when she was young and all of the love she had from those around her, especially one man who was her only true love. 

"The Lake Isle of Innisfree"  I fell this one is about a man who wants to get away from all of his issues in life and go to live somewhere peaceful where no one will bother him. His idea of this is near a lake where he will build his own house and grow his own food while enjoying the beauty of where he lives.

"Sailing To Byzantium" I feel this poem is about a man who wishes he was young again. He reflects on his younger days and now feels useless since he is older and can't do as much. If he was young once again, he would never take it for granted.

The piece is the author communicating to the reader, who is in old age, and reminding of the past, where love has been found and then lost. Despite that,  it is best to be happy.

"The Lake Isle of Innisfree"
A little strip of land is a piece of paradise to the speaker. Even in the troublesome urban life, the speaker is able to visit there in spirit.

"Sailing to Byzantium"
Life is fleeting and old age is worthless. However, with a strong spirit, life is worthwhile. The speaker knows this and travels to Byzantium for enlightenment.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree:  The speaker states that his dream is to move to Innisfree, and build a cabin and live the rest of his life with the bees. He wants peace and quiet in his life.
Sailing to Byzantium:  The speaker is leaving the country that has lots of young people, and that makes him reflect on his life of when he was younger.

You dream of who you used to be and think back on your life. Who you loved and who you thought you loved. For the one that was a true love fled. (how love fled)

The Lake Isle of Innisfree
He dreams of being alone, going to a cabin where he can find peace.

He is leaving his country that is filled with young people. The music that they listen to neglects old people. He thinks back on his life]]> 2017-03-22 14:15:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/yeatspoetry/wish/161825782 JS https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/yeatspoetry/wish/161825927 When You Are Old:

Almost dreaming about an ideal life, a dream to escape the reality of life. 

When You are Old

When you are old, look back at your life and remember how many people loved. And think about that one who loved you for who you are.  Even those he's gone, continue to remember him, tell how he went. 

Sailing to Byzantium
The guy is old, and as you get older, you study your past for the moment of "magnificence"

I think that this poem is about a woman who is reflecting on her past. I think she does this because he loved one who she had lost.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree

I think it is about a person who is willing to leave his home life to go settle somewhere else. He does this to find peace of mind. You can see this through when he says things like "and I shall have some peace there."

"The Lake Isle Of Innisfree": Living in seclusion would be peaceful, but is not necessary when nature is always with you at heart.

"Sailing to Byzantium": He came to the city in order to feel young again. It's about appreciating the time you have.

She persisted to love him but he is no longer who he once was, the memories are within the stars.]]> 2017-03-22 14:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/yeatspoetry/wish/161831125 Reese https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/yeatspoetry/wish/162812544 When you are old: Someone near the end of life cheerfully remembering the selfless love they used to get from someone.  

The Lake Isle of Innisfree: Discussing the peaceful nature living in total seclusion. One living off the grid.

Sailing to Byzantium: Certain cities are for the young. For example, Chicago is a "young city." Miami is an old city. All of these poems make you thin about the passing of life.

I think this poem is about a girl remembering good things about her life, but also reminiscing how "love fled."

The lake isle of Innisfree:
I think this poem has no hidden meaning, it is simply the poet explaining a beautiful place. 

Sailing to Byzantium:
Maybe the poet is thinking back on his life.. Or maybe it's not realistic at all, just a metaphor. ]]> 2017-03-27 14:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/yeatspoetry/wish/162822639
