    As the Poet W. B. Yeats put it in "The Second Coming"

      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 damned tide is loosed and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

    [*The gyre is the widening circle traced by the falcon as it flies upward.]

    There is a second verse which ends with the lines...
    'And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
    Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born.'
