“Among School Children”: Search for Unity of Being
Abstract
“Among School Children” shows how Yeats has come to reach the ultimatereality, unity of being in the eighth and final stanza in it. Growing older, Yeatsgets to contemplate life and death. Earlier in life, he has pursued the spiritual, butas he is older, approaching death, he is searching for something else, too. Herealizes that we need both soul and body to overcome aging and death, andeventually, as evidenced in the dance and dancer metaphor of the poem, he isreaching the ultimate Reality through a unity of being-the harmonious union ofbody and soul. He realizes that “life is not a mere image.”
