Hi! What does "saving in" mean in Yeats' The Song of The Happy Shepherd? I think the poet expressed that one should always seek for truth, as truth won't be saved in heart eternally. It emphasizes the action of seeking, reflecting truth's dynamic state. But in other analyses, that line was interpreted to "There is no truth except in your heart". Here, the word "saving" in the poem was meaning "except", or "other than", but shouldn't only the original form (to function as a preposition) "save" have this meaning? Or can it mean so even in its gerund form?
