The Second Coming

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?

The second coming = illusion

Turning and turning = passing of time

Gyre = circle of life , movement of world and its repetition

The falcon cannot hear the falconer = he disobey his master

Things fall apart, the center cannot hold = everything is ruined, kind of disbelief in relegion

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world = disbelief in anything (personification)

The ceremony of innocence is drowned = innocence is disappeared

The best lack all conviction, while the worst = the best people in city don't have any belief (irony , allusion)

The second coming = jesus coming

When a vast image out of spiritsus mundi = show common idea and past
وقتی ذهنت پر از گذشته های بد هست نمی تونی به اومدن مسیح فکر کنی

A shape with lion body and the head of a man = strong beliefs


A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun = synocdoche (sight of statue resembles to sun)

The darkness drops again , but now i know = when loose connection with the past

stony sleep = mental death (metaphor) (synsetia چند حسی)


The statue is symbol of past.

Shadow is for protection
