초록
This paper focuses on the versification of desire arising, desiring, sublimation and purification of desire and following inner conflicts. The Byzantium of W. B. Yeats to which only imagination carries us is a holy city of the eternal and complete life and a safe haven from temporal reality. The golden bird, a symbol of Yeats’s spiritual eternity is an artificial creature that refuses all worldly attributes in reality. Therefore, it only exists in the vision of the poet. As his aspiration for the spiritual journey and reincarnation gets stronger, his wistful desire continues to appear subverted and disconnected. Byzantium is only imagined and assumed as a Utopia in which the poet is to realize his desire. In actuality, the representation of Byzantium connotes a recognition of an impossible realization of the spiritual voyage to the place. Thus, paradoxically, unrealized desires arise perpetually. In short, an aesthetic representation of Byzantium means only Yeats’s subverted desire.
Abstract
This paper focuses on the versification of desire arising, desiring, sublimation and purification of desire and following inner conflicts. The Byzantium of W. B. Yeats to which only imagination carries us is a holy city of the eternal and complete life and a safe haven from temporal reality. The golden bird, a symbol of Yeats’s spiritual eternity is an artificial creature that refuses all worldly attributes in reality. Therefore, it only exists in the vision of the poet. As his aspiration for the spiritual journey and reincarnation gets stronger, his wistful desire continues to appear subverted and disconnected. Byzantium is only imagined and assumed as a Utopia in which the poet is to realize his desire. In actuality, the representation of Byzantium connotes a recognition of an impossible realization of the spiritual voyage to the place. Thus, paradoxically, unrealized desires arise perpetually. In short, an aesthetic representation of Byzantium means only Yeats’s subverted desire.
