초록

William Butler Yeats is one of the authors who created their own utopias out of their conflicts between the reality and the ideal. Certain metaphors of Yeats’s poems reveal his ideas of “Unity of Being,” utopia. This paper deals with the pattern of Yeats’s utopia in ‘The Lake Isle of Innisfree,’ and then Yeats’s motives to write ‘Sailing to Byzantium.’ Finally the hypothesis that Byzantium is the last destination of Yeats’s perfection is established in ‘Byzantium.’ Yeats seek to search for the unity of nations, races, and individual men and creative power of imagination. Yeats’s utopia can undertake for men to discover the ideal place which would offer them salvation.
