Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | William Butler Yeats' most famous poem. It is not about the Apocalypse and the second coming of Christ -- rather, it's a window into Yeats's own cosmology and worldview, predicting the fall of the Christian world order and the rising of a new empire. It was written just after World War I, the failed Irish Rising (in which Yeats lost several close friends), and the Russian Revolution (which probably explains a lot). |
