Today's poem on Penny's Poetry Blog:
The Second Coming, by William Butler Yeats
[...]
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
[...]

("Slouching towards Bethlehem" sung by Joni Mitchell)

Thanks for keeping the thread where it can be noticed. I was happy to get this poem onto the blog. It was Joni MItchell's interpretation that brought me back to the poem; on rereading it, I was struck by how much the time Yeats describes sound like our own, and the latter is why I decided to blog it. Judging by the commenhts and reads (80 in its first three days), it seems to have resonated with a lot of readers.
