Best of Me Symphony #120.

It's up at Gary Cruse's Owner's Manual - and I have an entry this week: Reasonable People from December. The Symphony is "hosted" by W.B. Yeats, and oddly enough the snippet of poetry selected to go along with my piece I used as the opening of an earlier, related essay, True Believers. The poem is The Second Coming:

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 convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Good choice, that.

Give the rest of the Symphony contributors a read. All of the posts are at least 60 days old, and have seasoned with age.
