Understanding the Poem

1How do the 'trees in their autumn beauty', 'dry woodland paths', 'October twilight', 'still sky' connect to the poet's own life?Show solution
They connect with the poet’s present mood and stage of life. The autumn beauty, dry paths, October twilight, and still sky suggest quietness, ageing, and the fading of things, which reflect Yeats’s own feeling that time has passed and that life is becoming more silent and reflective. The scene outside mirrors the poet’s inner condition.
