= = =The Second Coming= By William Butler Yeats 1865–1939

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? =Modern= "self" independent society Reason and science provide the basis for knowledge just laws conform to reason reason is used to overcome conflict Reason is the basis of this society

=Post Modern!!!!!!!!!!!!= anything and everything. Postmodernism has yet to be classified because its happening now and any time since the modern era ended.
