Welcome To The Other Side

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center 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.

- W.B. Yeats

    Excellent poem… It probably will not surprise you to hear that I myself routinely slouch towards Bethlehem. Whether I should be called a rough beast, I leave to my myriad critics.

    Many enemies, much honour.
