The Second Coming by W.B. Yeats
Turning and turning in
the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear
the falconer;
Things fall apart; the
centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed
upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is
loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence
is drowned;
The best lack all
conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate
intensity.
Surely some revelation is
at hand;
Surely the Second Coming
is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly
are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus
Mundi
Troubles my sight:
somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body
and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless
as the sun,
Is moving its slow
thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the
indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again;
but now I know
That twenty centuries of
stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare
by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its
hour come round at last,
Slouches towards
Bethlehem to be born?
Just hours after accusing Jewish people who vote for Democrats of “disloyalty” (which drew widespread condemnation), President Trump quoted a controversial radio host who called him the “King of Israel” and “the second coming of God,” in the latest of a series of inflammatory comments about Jews.
- In his tweet, Trump thanked Wayne Allyn Root, considered a “conspiracy theorist” by the Washington Post and others, for the tweets, calling them “very nice words.”
- Trump followed his tweets by saying “I am the chosen one” during an interview with White House reporters. He was referring to his role in managing the trade war with China...
Do you know who is really delusional? 40+% of Americans give him a favorable approval rating.
