of the indignant desert birds
- Is moving its slow thighs
  - A shape with lion body
    - Surely the Second Coming
      - Turning and turning
      - in the widening gyre
    - is at hand
      - The falcon cannot hear
      - the falconer
  - and the head of a man
    - The 2nd Coming
      - Things fall apart
      - the centre cannot hold
    - Hardly are those words out
      - Mere anarchy
      - is loosed upon the world
- While all about it Wind shadows
  - A gaze blank and
    - When a vast image
      - The blood-dimmed tide is loosed
      - And everywhere the ceremony
    - out of Spiritus Mundi
      - of innocence is drowned
      - The best lack all conviction
  - pitiless as the sun
    - Troubles my sight
      - while the worst
      - Are full of passionate intensity
    - a waste of desert sand
      - Surely some
      - revelation is at hand
