And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Great closing lines, that prove in themselves that Yeats is one of the great English poets.
These other lines speak to our own time and our condition:
The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
Doesn't that describe perfectly the situation we find ourselves in? The best people seem powerless, while the very worst are easily slipping into positions of authority they are completely unequal to fulfilling. All the passion is on the left, with the screaming lesbians and abortion advocates. The GOP in Congress do nothing.
