- Why does Yeats’ poem “The Second Coming” resonates so strongly now?
Poynter Institute’s Roy Peter Clark agues that’s because it always resonates. (And I would argue Auden does, too.)
Yeats wrote "The Second Coming" while his wife was recovering from a near death experience with the Spanish Flu pandemic. A poignant reminder that there are always times when the center feels like it will not hold. https://t.co/RwfarEIRjB

you can find experts, studies, or any other forms of content to affirm any belief. you can find phd's who believe earth is flat or scientists who believe the moon landings were faked. just because you found a fringe outlier doesn't mean it's weighted the same as expert consensus
