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, / 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. […] William Butler Yeats, ‘The Second Coming’ (published Nov. 1920)
Dear reader,
Please find below a few lines about various topics which
might be of interest to you. The hyperlinks
I provide in my entries should allow you to access the texts (or any
other type of document) directly. This because I consider such links
to be an invitation for you, dear reader, to explore the wealth of
materials available from electronic repositories such as the Internet
Archive, Project Gutenberg and the websites of various national
libraries. May your browsing of such electronic resources be as
fruitful as it has been for me and as it still continues to be the
case.
