The Concept of Death and Afterlife in W.B.Yeat's Byzantium and Sailing to Byzantium by Purwarno

I. INTRODUCTION All souls should have the taste of death. This reminds us what death is. In general, the basic concept of death in this process is based on the fact that it begins when the heart stops working to pump blood, which causes brain damage and overall system malfunction. When all the systems or functions of human organs lose their job, the body itself loses life or dies. Furthermore, according to the religious view, as mentioned above, death does not mean that the journey of the human soul has ended.

I tried to write down the state of my soul, for the elderly can produce his soul. And some of my ideas about this subject, I wrote a poem called "Sailing to Byzantium". Irish is the light of the book of Kells, when making the Croats painted jewelry at the National Museum of Art, Byzantium is the center of European civilization, because it is the source of its spiritual philosophy, mental through the I city trip It symbolizes a life. . Klein Brooks in this poem, Yeats chose the idealism or materialism, replied "Ieba chose both. People can not be saved by becoming the world". The world is a meaningless flow in addition to the world it means (although it must remember that it is a person in the world). )

"Sailing to Byzantium" is a poem by William Butler Yeats, first published in The Tower in 1928. It consists of 4 sections of Ottava rima, each section consists of 8 10 syllable rows. It uses a Byzantine (Constantinople) trip as a metaphor for spiritual journeys. Yeats explored his thoughts and thoughts on how immortality, art, and human spirit are fused. Using various poetry techniques, Yeats' sailing to Byzantium explains his eternal vision and the pursuit of the paradise of his figurative journey.
