Line 66:
* [[Lisa Gerrard]] has a track entitled ''Sailing to Byzantium'' on her album ''Immortal Memory''.
* J. M. Coetzee focuses his book ''Disgrace'' around the story of aged scholar suffering with questions of his own mortality and quotes the poem directly in the work.
* In the [[William Kennedy]] novel ''[[Billy Phelan's Greatest Game]]'' (the second of his cycle of novels set in Albany, New York; many of its characters are Irish Americans), Albany Times Union columnist Martin Daugherty recalls something his playwright father said to him while they walked through Washington Park "an age ago": "This is no country for old men, his father said. I prefer, said Edward Daugherty, to be with the poet, a golden bird on a golden bough, singing of what is past."
