The
appreciation
of
“
When
You
Are
Old
”

This poem chooses from the poetry
which
is
written
in
1893,
it
is
one
of
the
representative
early works of Yeats, addresses to his heart goddess, who
is also the most important woman in his life.
“
When you are old and gray and full of sleep, and
nodding
by
the
fire
”
,
the
poet
starts
with
a
pencil
like
painting a picture which interlaces the shadow with light ,
no
vivid
color,
atmospheric
background
and
lingering
characters
’

move,
only
a
quiet
life
fabric
of
old
age.
Although at this time, Yeats was only 29, his lover was
only 27 years old, but the

by
the
fire
a
simple
image,
but
let
time
rapidly move forth to the future of her. At that time, she
lost
the
charming
appearance,
lost
fresh
youth;
maybe
the readers can't help asking: what kind of emotion is the
poet
for
her
at
that
time.
“
Take
down
this
book,
and
slowly
read,
and
dream
of
the
soft
look;
your
eyes
had
once,
and
of
their
shadows
deep
”
,
very
few
words,
the
poet lead her experience his deep feeling slowly. Let an
old
woman
to
look
back
may
seem
to
be
cruel
and
the
gap between of the contrast will diffuse in the heart. And
in this gap, the poet gradually recognizes the firm love,
which
likes
an
unexpected
gift,
a
surprise.
As
if
the
gentle
stream
are
starting
to
flow
from
the
iceberg
and
melting slowly out of it, with the huge source, which is a
long process.

The
conception
of
the
original
whole
poem
in
the
first
stanza
describes
that
an
old
woman
looks
back
to
her love when she was young. What is love? Perhaps it is
only the one who is really experienced that kind of real
emotion
can
have
sincerely
feelings
of
its
appearance.
But
no
matter
how,
the
memory
of
love
is
the
sweetest
and most often does when he or she is old just as what is
written in the poem, beauty is old, the appearance is gone,
and she is sitting by the fire and starts reviewing the past
love.

“
How many loved your moments of glad grace, and
loved your
beauty
with
love
false
or true;
But one
man
loved the pilgrim soul in you,
and loved the sorrows of
your changing face
”
,

since the poem has already opened,
the feeling of the poet has been read slowly, after so long
trial,
he
can't
wait
to
contrast
with
other
admirer,
and
express
his
strong
feeling
in
his
heart,
which
has
been
