. In the poem, the things that intimate eternity are the swans, which he observes continuing to live and love as they always have, unaware of the passage of time. The swans' love for each other, and their passion and dreams, never die. (Now it seems like Yeats is projecting a bit of himself onto the swans). Even after the speaker leaves, he knows that the swans will continue to live their lives. This touches upon the poem’s central theme that some things in the world are able to transcend time, escaping the forces of change and remaining always the same.
