A Dylan Moment

[Terrance F. Flaherty]

Turning and turning in the widening
 gyre
 The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
 Things fall apart; the centre cannot
 hold;
 Mere anarchy is loosed upon the
 world,
 The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and
 everywhere
 The ceremony of innocence is
 drowned;
 The best lack all conviction, while
 the worst
 Are full of passionate intensity.
 Surely some revelation is at hand;
 Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

 The Second Coming! Hardly are
 those words out
 When a vast image out of Spritus
 Mundi
 Troubles my sight: somewhere in the
 sands of the desert
 A shape with lion body and the head
 of a man,
 A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
 Is moving its slow thighs, while all
 about it
 Reel shadows of the indignant desert
 birds.
 The darkness drops again; but now I
 know
 That twenty centuries of stony sleep
 were vexed to nightmare by a
 rocking cradle,
 And what rough beast, its hour come
 round at last,
 Slouches towards Bethlehem to be
 born?


 Yeats


There's a black Mercedes rollin' through the combat zone
Your servants are half dead; you're down to the bone
Tell me, tall man, where would you like to be overthrown
Maybe down in Jerusalem or Argentina?

Dylan

"Did you ever, in the street, see a man that you knew, in the instant, must be
Jesus Christ--not hoped he was, or caught some resemblance  --but knew. The
Deliverer, returned and walking among the people, just the way the old stories
promised..."

"Outase"

Pynchon GR.P.325
