The Centre Cannot Hold

See Rebellion and its combox.

I am bound for bed but, before I go: Sean quotes from a poem which is here. Perhaps it is a comment on all histories and future histories? Good night, with apologies for a very short post.

(For previous references to "gyre," see here.)

Kaor, Paul!

Thanks for the nice mention of me! There is much in this bleak poem of Yeats which resonates with a conservative like me. Esp. the line about how so many of the worse among us are consumed with fanatical "passionate intensity."

Ad astra! Sean
