"The Second Coming" is a poem by W.B. Yeats, first published in 1920. The poem is widely regarded as one of Yeats' greatest works and is a powerful reflection on the political, social, and spiritual turmoil of the early 20th century. The poem opens with the iconic line, "Turning and turning in the widening gyre / The falcon cannot hear the falconer." This line sets the tone for the poem, suggesting a sense of chaos and disorientation in the world. The image of the falcon, which represents power and control, being unable to hear the falconer, who represents authority and order, suggests that the world is spinning out of control. The first stanza also introduces the concept of "anarchy," which Yeats uses to describe the breakdown of social and political order. He suggests that the forces of chaos are threatening to overwhelm the forces of order, and that the center cannot hold. The second stanza introduces a new image: "The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere / The ceremony of innocence is drowned." This image suggests that violence and bloodshed are spreading throughout the world, and that the innocent are being swept away by the tide of chaos. The phrase "ceremony of innocence" suggests that there was once a time when innocence was valued and protected, but that this time has passed. The third stanza introduces a new image: "Surely some revelation is at hand / Surely the Second Coming is at hand." This image suggests that a great upheaval is coming, and that it will be as significant as the Second Coming of Christ. However, Yeats suggests that this coming will not be a time of peace and harmony, but rather a time of conflict and destruction. The fourth stanza describes the vision that Yeats sees in his mind's eye: "A shape with lion body and the head of a man / A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun." This image suggests a sense of primal power and authority, but also a sense of emptiness and indifference. The shape is also associated with the desert, suggesting a sense of barrenness and emptiness. The fifth and final stanza brings the poem to a close with the haunting lines: "And what rough beast, its hour come round at last / Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?" This image suggests that the forces of chaos and anarchy are taking on a life of their own, and that they are moving inexorably towards some final, cataclysmic event. Overall, "The Second Coming" is a powerful and prophetic poem that reflects the social, political, and spiritual turmoil of the early 20th century. Through its vivid imagery and haunting language, the poem suggests a sense of impending doom and the breakdown of order and authority in the world.

“यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत। अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम्।।” इस श्लोक में श्री कृष्ण कहते हैं “जब-जब इस पृथ्वी पर धर्म की हानि होती है, विनाश का कार्य होता है और अधर्म आगे बढ़ता है, तब-तब मैं इस पृथ्वी पर आता हूँ और इस पृथ्वी पर अवतार लेता हूँ।”
Aapney Kitna aasani se iss poem ko samjha diye you are great sir aap acha narrate kiye poem ko thank you.. I am very happy you are teaching English literature once more after long days ..☺🙏😊
The second coming is so fabulous poem.. I like it it is based on real life of human society... Human khud ko civilized samjhta h par hakikat yeh h ki janwar(Jangli) ka character gya Nahi log sirf burayo ka tamasha dekhte h karte kuch Nahi aur demon paap Kartey rahtey h sachmuch aab aant aa raha h earth 🌍 par log khud ko king samjhney lage h Jabki asli king god jo nature ka preserver h destroyer things gayab hongey....😴☺🌅
I just want to add up here that the meaning of center in the poem could also be like our families that are unit of society are now breaking into bits and pieces. our parents who hold the family together are now weakening their strengths and losing their power of holding all together.
Aapki help se mene English literature m graduation complete kr liya h or M.A ka 1st sem bhi complete kr liya English literaturese ...thnkuuu soo much sir ♥️ aise h best videos bnaty rahiy taki mere 3 semester or clear hojay ache s😍😍😍
Hi kapil Please start giving an explanation of movements and Era which is concerned with the poem, story, novel etc.. because it's really important to tell this as second coming is concerned with new apocalyptic movement as students doesn't know about the movements. I hope you would read my comments
