Chapter 4 Christ returns

Selected Poems of Yeats 叶芝 277Words 2018-03-20
Christ returns Rotate and rotate on the outwardly expanding spiral body, The falcon could no longer hear the call of its master. All scattered, no longer able to keep the center, There is chaos all over the world, The bloody tide rushes and rages, Everywhere drowns innocence in decorum; The good men lost their confidence, The villains are full of fiery fanaticism. Undoubtedly God's revelation will manifest, There is no doubt that Christ will return. Christ is coming again!These words have not yet been exported, Dazzling is the behemoth from the big memory: In the desert, the shape of a man with a lion's body,

Looking at each other indifferently and relentlessly like the sun, Slowly move the leg, it circles around, Shadows of angry birds swirl across the desert. Darkness has fallen again, now I understand Twenty centuries of slumber, In the spinning cradle had troubled nightmares, What kind of wild beast, at last the time has come, Lazily falling to the holy place to take birth?
