Turning and turning in the widening gyre
<BR />    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
<BR />    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
<BR />    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
<BR />    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
<BR />    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
<BR />    The best lack all convictions, while the worst
<BR />    Are full of passionate intensity.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.potw.org/archive/potw351.html"><P>    Surely some revelation is at hand;
<BR />    Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
<BR />    The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
<BR />    When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
<BR />    Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
<BR />    A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
<BR />    A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
<BR />    Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
<BR />    Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
<BR />    The darkness drops again but now I know
<BR />    That twenty centuries of stony sleep
<BR />    Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
<BR />    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
<BR />    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
