Recent events have me thinking of W.B.
Yeats, “The Second Coming”. Most of our literate Kos folks will remember some of it.
“Things fall apart, the center cannot hold;
...The best lack all conviction. while the worst are full of passionate intensity
...And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born
Written in 1919, it seems to speak of today.
