The Second Coming

Book • 1920

William Butler Yeats

Written in 1919, 'The Second Coming' is a poem that reflects on the chaos and anarchy following World War I and the Irish War of Independence.

It uses the metaphor of a 'Second Coming' to describe a transformative, potentially cataclysmic event.

The poem is characterized by its apocalyptic imagery, including the 'widening gyre' and the 'rough beast' slouching towards Bethlehem.

Yeats draws on his cosmological views, as outlined in his book 'A Vision,' to depict a world in turmoil and the cyclical nature of history.
