: I just need some help yzing the poem. i really love it but don't fully understand it. i'd also like to do a presentation on it so if anyone could please respond with some insight that'd be great!! thanks
Hi Mike,
"When you are old" is one of the (many!) love poems directed to Maud Gonne. At the moment, I can't find the book where I could look it up, so I only can refer to the few lines I know by heart: "...HOW MANY LOVED YOUR BEAUTY WITH LOVE FALSE OR TRUE / BUT ONE MAN LOVED THE PILGRIM SOUL IN YOU" Well, I think that's just to say that he himself is the only man who doesn't love her for mere beauty but also for her personality, her (political) intentions, her personal troubles...well, maybe her soul, just the things that don't fade away the way bodily beauty does.
