초록
Two Byzantium poems reflect Yeats’s efforts to participate in the modernist concern with the cures of the problem of Western decline in the early twentieth century. Yeats, like Eliot and Pound, turned to the East for a solution. The two Byzantium poems were composed as part of Yeats’s attempts to offer a new spiritual tradition for western readers. Byzantium stands for the utopia fusing Western religious ideas and Eastern spiritual concepts. Here, Yeats weaves the Buddhist concepts of suffering and reincarnation and Eastern philosopher’s perception of human problems on the canvass of the Christian narrative tradition. This work can be thought of as the poet’s life-long struggle to embody the idea of Unity of Being. Located geographically in between the West and the East, Byzantium is an emblem of a new kind of Yeatsian religion, embracing both the West and the East.
