“The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.” - Yeats (from “The Second Coming”)
Obama’s daughters.
I don’t view myself as apocalyptic?
Yet this video of the cops defending the Columbus Statue is pushing me in that direction.
“the centre cannot hold”? Apropos!
Will darkness prevail?
I pray not.
I’d like to find a great reading, but gotta cut the lawn.
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?
