♠ 시의 배경
 WB Yeats was born in 1865 in Dublin. His family was upper class.
 Yeats received classes in art and thus could paint a scene well with words.
 As he reached manhood, much of his education consisted of private tuition and reading.
 Despite dyslexia and early difficulty with learning the alphabet, he turned into the greatest Irish Poet of the Twentieth Century.
 Yeats felt that his powers as a poet were reducing with age. He wrote ‘The Wild Swans at Coole’ in 1915 when he turned fifty.
 Yeats first visited Coole Park County Galway nineteen years before in 1896.
In this poem, Yeats compares the present and the past.
 He contrasts the swans as a species with himself as an individual.
 As a species the swans will live on after he dies. Their beauty will remain. He by contrast, is aging and fading. He will eventually die.

♠ 시의 주제
