Abstract :

Utopia and dreamland have always been human concern and he has dreamt about it in his thoughts. In the contemporary era the literates and poets have worked on it from different aspects and utopia owns a special effect in their works. Iranian Sohrab Sepehri and English William Butler Yeats also applied utopia in their poetries. This paper – which is done descriptive analytical – in the comparative literature field studies two poems: "beyond the seas" and "Sailing to Byzantium" with Utopia and the existing symbols as the main subjects. The result is finding out similarities in poets' thoughts. Although their hometowns are west and east, the utopia concept has the same meaning in their minds and poetries. Utopia for both is one place and the way to reach there is also the same. For both it is just and only a dream and not a reality. Utopia for both means perception, spirituality and immortality.
