UNIT-THREE"The Lamentation Of The Old Pensioner"


"The lamentation of the old Pensioner" written by W.B.Yeats,presents the speaker's reminiscences of his young life which become more painful when he contrasts his time of young with his present old age.He laments on the passing of his joyful youth.In the past,the speakers was young and he had a good job.So his friends and lovers followed him.He was happy to talk about love and politics.His past
life only gives him agony because time has turned him into ugly,weak and useless old man.Neither his friends nor any beauties follow him.He is envious to see other young people who challenge any conspiracy and evils.This old man,who is forced away from politics and love,is still tormented by passions of his youth for women and conversation.He thinks that his greater enemy is Time because it made him old and stole his physical beauty,power and beautiful lovers.He compares his old age stage with the broken tree.Time robbed all his happiness from him because it transfigured him into an ugly,powerless,passionless,deformed and lonely old man.
So,he shows his anger against time and spits on the face of it.
