This excerpt is from the poem, 'Sailing to Byzantium' by William Butler Yeats
Explanation:
- The line "aged man is but a paltry thing, / a tattered coat upon a stick refers to an old man's soul.
- The poet says the country he had left was a country of youth and so he has moved to the holy city of Byzantium. He calls the saints as masters and asks them to be his soul's singing masters.
