“That is no country for old men” is the first line of William Butler Yeats’ poem “Sailing to Byzantium” (1). Although the poem was written in 1928, the line became famous only in 2007, when the Coen brothers used it as a title of their film. The poem is a passionate expression of grief for the vanished country of the young. Even more, it is a lament on the carelessness and disrespect of adolescents for the wisdom of the past. In his book A Vision, Yeats says: “I think that in early Byzantium, maybe never before or since in recorded history, religious, aesthetic, and practical life (was) one, that architect and artificers ... spoke to the multitude and the few alike.” (2).
