Question

short no big summary of the second coming by William Butler yeat

Answer 1

Yeats’s "The Second Coming" is a short, ominous poem about historical collapse and a terrifying new age emerging after chaos (inspired by WWI and Irish unrest). Using images like the widening "gyre," a falcon that cannot hear its falconer, and the famous line "things fall apart; the centre cannot hold," it predicts not Christ’s return but a monstrous "rough beast" slouching toward Bethlehem to be born — a symbol of a violent, disordered future.
