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,
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

Yeats, W.B. Michael Robartes and the Dancer, (The Cuala Press: Churchtown, Dundrum,1920),
The Second Coming, lines 1-4
