How can the aspects of modernism in "The Wild Swans of Coole" by W.B. Yeats be compared and contrasted to those in "Araby" by James Joyce?eg....

Alienation and isolation play a part in both "The Wild
Swans at Coole" and "Araby."

Though the swans possess what
the speaker lacks--they are "Unwearied still, lover by lover," and "Their hearts have
not grown old;/Passion or conquest, wander where they will,/Attend upon them still"--the
speaker is able to count only 59--not sixty.  One swan is left
out. 

And the speaker is alienated and isolated and
contrasted with the swans--again, at least 58 have what he
doesn't. 

The speaker sees the swans as immortal--of air
and water--while he is mortal--of land.  The nineteen years that have passed since he
first saw the swans haven't changed them, as the years have changed
him.

In "Araby," the speaker at first feels a part of his
world.  He plays with his friends, feels grounded in his church, and sees himself as
having a relationship or at least a strong possibility of one with Mangan's sister. 
Yet, these prove largely to be illusion.

During his
epiphany at the bazaar (Araby), he realizes that he is not a spiritual hero on a quest
to woo a Virgin Mary-like lady (Mangan's sister), that the bazaar is just a trivial way
for his church to make money, that he really means nothing to Mangan's sister anyway,
and that he has been trivial and silly himself. 

Thus,
"Araby" closes with the narrator feeling isolated and alienated from his church and his
object of affection.  Though his epiphany is an awakening of sorts--he begins the story
figuratively blind and is freed from his blindness by the epiphany--his realizations do
result in isolating him. 

At least, in contrast to the
speaker in "Wild Swans," the adolescent narrator of "Araby" still has his friends, as
far as the reader knows.
