And What Rough Beast

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43290/the-second-coming
The Second Coming
Turning and turning in the widening gyre  Â
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  Â
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst  Â
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.  Â
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out  Â
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert  Â
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,  Â
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,  Â
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it  Â
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.  Â
The darkness drops again; but now I know  Â
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,  Â
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,  Â
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
