Reading The Wild Swans at Coole | Alexandria
Read The Wild Swans at Coole by William Butler Yeats. Gliding across still waters, fifty-nine wild swans embody nature's defiance of time - while we age, their eternal beauty persists unchanged. Through these majestic birds, Yeats reveals an unsettling truth: perhaps permanence exists only in what we can't possess. Their graceful indifference to human longing offers a surprising lesson in finding peace with impermanence.
