'The Second Coming': Yeats and the Apocalypse
In this week’s episode of "Beyond the Verse", brought to you by PoemAnalysis.com (poemanalysis.com/) and Poetry+ (poemanalysis.com/poetry-plus/?) , Joe and Maiya take a deep dive into William Butler Yeats (poemanalysis.com/william-butler-yeats/biography/) ’ apocalyptic poem 'The Second Coming (poemanalysis.com/william-butler-yeats/the-second-coming/) '. They explore Yeats’ use of biblical allusions, the recurring themes of societal collapse, and his cyclical view of history, which reflects the chaos and uncertainty of the post-World War I era.
Join the discussion as Joe and Maiya dissect Yeats’ background, his views on revolution and change, and how The Second Coming captures a world on the brink of a new, ominous era. They explore the poem’s opening lines, the metaphor of the falcon and the falconer, and the chilling imagery of the “rough beast” slouching towards Bethlehem.
