In The Circus Animal's Desertion by Yeats, he starts it off with a deep look into his past works. He almost seems disgusted at how showy they were and he admits that they were actually very terrible as far as works of art.
This is also a good example of demonstrating what happens with age. In his youth he was able to create these extravagant and beautiful works whereas now he is unable to come up with anything. He is extremely apathetic and it's like he has given up hope on having any kind of influence in the world at all anymore.
I find this sad as most of the country is like this as well. They are very apathetic towards there work and anything they have accomplished in the past that they were so excited about back then, they find really had no significant value or impact what so ever. This is a prime example of dying at 40 and buried at 70.
