William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

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: a waste of desert sand;
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
Wind 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?

Some of Ellen G. White’s Best-Known Books


  • The Acts of the Apostles
    presents the story of the early Christian church through the rest of
    New Testament times.

  • Christ’s Object Lessons,
    a companion volume to The Desire of Ages, presents the parables of Jesus
    in a fresh light, showing their application to Christian living today.

  • The Desire of Ages
    is Ellen G. White’s classic on the life and ministry of Jesus.

  • Education, deals
    with the unique and challenging idea that "the work of education
    and the work of redemption are one." This unique perspective has
    been a best seller for 100 years.

  • The Great Controversy
    picks up the story at the destruction of Jerusalem and follows, in broad
    outline, the major issues of the conflict between Christ and Satan as
    they have been seen in the history of the Christian church down to our
    own day–and beyond, based on what the Bible says will yet take place.

  • The Ministry of Healing
    provides a well-rounded look at the principles of healthful living,
    beginning with the ministry of Jesus and extending to the life and ministry
    of every Christian.

  • Patriarchs and Prophets
    presents the story of the conflict between good and evil–between Christ
    and Satan–from its beginning, starting with the origin of evil, then
    taking up the creation of the world, the Bible patriarchs, Israel’s
    Egyptian bondage and Exodus, and their establishment in Canaan up to
    the time of David.

  • Prophets and Kings
    continues the story from the time of Solomon through the remaining kings of Israel
    and Judah and the times of the prophets, including the time of Israel’s
    captivity and restoration, down to the coming of the Messiah.

  • Steps to Christ
    deals with the central issue of how to become and remain a Christian–the
    concern at the core of Mrs. White’s voluminous writing. It is the shortest
    book listed here.

  • Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing
    offers a study of the key verses of Jesus’ Sermon
    on the Mount. Included are the Beatitudes, the Lord’s Prayer, and much
    of Jesus’ other instruction for living here and now as a citizen of
    His kingdom.
