"The Wild Swans at Coole" by W. B. Yeats is a collection exploring the complexities of time and aging. The poems focus on beauty, love, and the changes that come with growing older, alongside the sad feelings of lost youth. The central poem tells of a person watching swans at a lake for years and reflects on the beauty and grace of the swans, contrasting it with their own aging.
