Hardly are those words out<br>   \nWhen a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi<br>\nTroubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert  <br> \nA shape with lion body and the head of a man,<br>  \nA gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,<br>   \nIs moving its slow thighs, while all about it<br>   \nReel shadows of the indignant desert birds.<br>   \nThe darkness drops again; but now I know <br>  \nThat twenty centuries of stony sleep<br>\nWere vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, <br>  \nAnd what rough beast, its hour come round at last, <br>  \nSlouches towards Bethlehem to be born?\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The centre has held [1], perhaps things won&#8217;t fall apart.
