Inspirated by B. W. Yeats with a Nod to C. S. Lewis


Turning and turning in a widening gyre
The falcon hears the falconer;
Things fall into place, the centre holds;
Mere Christianity is loosed upon the world,
The blood of the lamb is offered;
The ceremony of innocence bathes all;
The best are full of passionate intensity;
The worst lack all conviction.

Revelations are at hand.


Inspiration from Yeat's The Second Coming

The Queen of Peace!
How perfect,
and just what the world needs

She is here,
