The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.

Antonio Gramsci

@tante and WB Yeats “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 … and what rough creature, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born.”
