The second coming?

Recommended Posts

               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........

And I suppose someone like Nostradamus and a compliant mod will have this post removed as they are unable to see the connection between Yeats'' poem and NCFC - or just being disingenuous.

Riddle me this, riddle me that. Let''s see.

One love.

To the world!

It''s a riddle Bly.

Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
  The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
  The frumious Bandersnatch!"

If we are likening the Second Coming coming to the Norwich City situation, the second verse should really be included as in "Be careful what you wish for."

 

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: somewhere in sands of the desert
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
Reel 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?

Harnser

Heron. (When Hamlet says that he can tell: ''A hawk from a handsaw'' - some people have suggested this was transcribed wrongly and it should have read ''harnser''.)

 A bit melodramatic - comparing the plight of Norwich City football club to the collapse of civilisation. Things may be a little dodgy at the moment but they''re not that bad, compared to World War or the Holocaust. Or do you mean Cullum is the Sphinx, with lion''s body and head of a man? Sphinx - kills by strangling. From the same root as "sphincter"....

OR

And did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon England''s mountains green

And was the holy lamb of God

On England''s pleasant pastures seen

And did the countenance divine

Shine forth upon our clouded hills

And was Jerusalem builded here

Among those dark norfolk hills

Bring me my bow of burning gold

Bring me my arrows of desire

Bring me my spears o''clouds unfold

Bring me my chariot of fire

I will not cease from mental fight

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand

''Til we have built Jerusalem

In England''s green and yellow land

''Til we have built Jerusalem

In England''s green and yellow land

BELIEVE!!!

You miss the most important point here - the worst are certainly full of "passionate intensity" - we see plaenty of that in here.

Quite so  Or "hansard" which is another old word for heron possibly current in Shakespeare''s time.  The original compiler of Hansard, the verbatim record of parliamentary proceedings, came from these parts so I suppose it should really be called "Heron".  Don''t sound quite right somehow.

From memory I think that Pete in Arthur Ransome''s "Big Six" refers to a Heron as a Harnsey.

ooh I like this one. Is the answer no because until it hits an eardrum it isn''t a noise and is just a sound wave......

Only if it doesn''t know there is no body around.

If it thinks there might be it could be worth the effort, but if it knows for certain that there isn''t, why bother?
