This paper compares Yeats’s “Sailing to Byzantium” and Jibananda Das’s “Banalata Sen” keeping in mind the issue of some critics’ branding both poems as quest and escape poems. Both as travel poems portray the eternal thirst for knowing the unknown. In these poems, both poets express their dissatisfaction with the mundane life and their desire to find solace in their creative pursuit. The ‘desire of oblivion’ runs through every poetic vein of these poems. I attempt to analyze and establish both poems as escape and quest poems, which undergo transformation.

This paper compares Yeats’s “Sailing to Byzantium” and Jibananda Das’s “Banalata Sen” keeping in mind the issue of some critics’ branding both poems as quest and escape poems.

In these poems, both poets express their dissatisfaction with the mundane life and their desire to find solace in their creative pursuit. The ‘desire of oblivion’ runs through every poetic vein of these poems. I attempt to analyze and establish both poems as escape and quest poems, which undergo transformation.
