What are some examples of juxtaposition in the poem sailing to Byzantium?

In: Poetry [Edit categories]

Answer:

"A juxtaposition is when two or more things stand side by side, even though they usually are not associated with another."

Here is an example for an juxtaposition in your poem:
"THAT is no country for old men. The young / In one another's arms" (l.l.1)
The old men stands next to the young (-> old - young)

"Of what is past, or passing, or to come."
I think this might be an juxtaposition, too, but I am not sure. (the past next to the future)

I hope I could help you!
