Thoughts for the Season
“Men must endure / Their going hence, even as their coming hither;
Ripeness is all. Come on.” [King Lear 5.2.9-11]
“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 conviction while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.” [Yeats, "The Second Coming"]
