That long to give themselves for wage,
To shake their wicked sides at youth
Restraining reckless middle age?

Maimed us from the start.

A fanatic heart.

In each other's arms, birds in the trees
- Those dying generations - at their song.

A tattered coat upon a stick.

To the holy city of Byzantium.

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tided is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned.
