SparkNotes: Yeats's Poetry: "The Second Coming" - 3 views

  • (It is safe to say that very few people who love this poem could paraphrase its meaning to satisfaction.)
  • In other words, the world’s trajectory along the gyre of science, democracy, and heterogeneity is now coming apart, like the frantically widening flight-path of the falcon that has lost contact with the falconer; the next age will take its character not from the gyre of science, democracy, and speed, but from the contrary inner gyre—which, presumably, opposes mysticism, primal power, and slowness to the science and democracy of the outer gyre. The “rough beast” slouching toward Bethlehem is the symbol of this new age; the speaker’s vision of the rising sphinx is his vision of the character of the new world.

    A very famous Modernist poem. In stark contrast to e e cummings' poem, this one deviates from the norm by being so prosaic in its language.
