My sister reminded us (7 siblings) of this poem written in response to WWI by William Butler Yeats, which we all were required to memorize in 8th grade. She can still recite it; I cannot.
My dad recited poetry to us, this was one among hundreds of his recitations. #WBY #Yeats #thesecondcoming #slouchingtowardsbethlehem Joan Didion used this line as a title to a book of her essays.
Yeats universal poem is relevant in today‘s world.

TheBookHippie We had to recite this too!!! 5mo

Just finished hour three of #24in48. It‘s off to bed for me. 😴 🛏 A few hours of sleep and then back at it!! 💪🏼I‘ve moved between four books this evening. Really enjoying each so far, and would highly recommend. #readathon #lonesomedove #larrymcmurtry #slouchingtowardsbethlehem #joandidion #marybarton #elizabethgaskell #savemethewaltz #zeldafitzgerald @24in48

I recently sat down and watched the Joan Didion documentary, created by her nephew, Griffin Dunne. What an amazing woman! Now, I want to read all her works! Happy me, I recently received the gorgeous #PicadorModernClassics edition from the lovely people at @picador. I‘ve been dipping in an out and have been absolutely entranced.
