The Museum of Eternity: The Spatial Politics of Aging in Yeats's Sailing to Byzantium

Runsen Liu, Ming Sun

Abstract


Traditional scholarship on W. B. Yeats's Sailing to Byzantium typically maps a linear trajectory from biological decay to aesthetic
immortality, viewing the holy city as a symbol of spiritual transcendence. However, such readings often overlook the poem's rigorous spatial
mechanics and its underlying political necessity. Drawing on Michel Foucault's concept of the "heterotopia" and Henri Lefebvre's analysis of
social space, this paper re-examines the poem not as a metaphysical voyage, but as a radical project of spatial sanitation. The paper argues that
the speaker's rejection of the "sensual music" of generation is an act of abjection, necessitating the construction of a compensatory archive—a
museum-space where the subject is not liberated, but curated. By analyzing the "singing school" as a pedagogical instrument of preservation
and the golden bird as an automaton, the study reveals the tragic irony of Yeats's solution: to survive the biological flux, the subject must consent to become a static ornament of imperial power. The paper concludes by framing Yeats's poem as a desperate epitaph for the architectural
defense against the chaos of the organic.
