“History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.”
W.B. Yeats in his classic timeless poem “The Second Coming”, likewise, nailed the current times:
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
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.
