    It tends to be easier to answer yes.

    Talk a bit about becoming engrossed in the intensity of the moment.

    Write a bit about the nine and fifty - swans tend to be in pairs. We have swan loneliness, poet loneliness etc. Another good place to empathise.

    Also, do a bit about their wings disturbing the peace. Everyone has experienced this in some form.

    And comment on the language, always comment on the language! Any hint of an emotion, say you empathise there.

    Also add in how Yeats is somewhat jealous of the unwavering loyalty of the swans, how they are partners for life. You could also say how "Mirrors a still sky" signifies the similarities between Yeats and the lone swan.
