I think after analyzing the poem as a class, and seeing the painting it began to help me think about the actual meaning of the poem that wasn't clear to me in the beginning. Discussing the history and even what literature means to us was very helpful in assessing the poem at hand. I was able to come to the realization that Yates was reiterating to the reader how he believes life and the world goes about in cycles and once the cycles ends something terrible must occur, so humans can put it back together and continue the cycle on and on.
