Disambiguation

There are a number of other blogs and webpages out there with the title "The Widening Gyre" related to literature, Batman or any number of things, even Yeats. The actual address of this blog is YeatsVision.blogspot.com.

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.

If you have difficulties with "following," please send me details, as I haven't been able to reproduce the problem.

About Me

My photo
Neil Mann
I have been interested in A Vision since I first came across it as a student and have studied it for many years, including on my website YeatsVision.com. I have written a number of articles on A Vision and related topics for the Yeats Annual, and have edited volumes of essays dedicated to A Vision: W. B. Yeats's "A Vision": Explications and Contexts (Clemson, 2012), Yeats, Philosophy, and the Occult (Clemson, 2016). I have also published A Reader's Guide to Yeats's "A Vision" (Clemson, 2019). As will be evident from the blog, I am also fascinated by a wide variety of symbol systems, mythologies and general esoterica.
