THE SECOND COMING
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.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

- It's not the thing that is sacred, if you believe it's sacred, then it is. Ex. Bible for the christian, lucky jersey for an athlete.
- Gerard Manly Hopkins - "The world s charged with the grandeur of God."
- If you see how it really is, you see how it's connected to the universe.
- C.G. Jung- Follower of Sigmund Freud, studied typology, understood something going on in mythology and fantasy that goes along with psychology. Found that psyche is not the about the mind, but the soul.
- Thinking(extrovert)- Zeus
- Sensation - Athena, connected to birth of Athens.
- Intuition - Demeter
- Feeling (introvert) - Dionysus God of rock and roll
- Eros and Psyche- Psyche was the most beautiful, a bit of a floozy. Ero's wanted her and Apollo wanted to have her sacrificed because Aphrodite was jealous of her beauty, this refers to Snow white when the queen was jealous of Snow white because she was the most beautiful girl in all of the land. Eros loves Psyche and took her to his castle to take care of her this also refers to Beauty and the Beast, when the beast took Bell to his castle. The only thing that Eros asked Psyche to do was she was forbidden to look at him. Then Psyche's sisters come and tell her that Eros is a monster and should be killed (because they were jealous). Psyche decides to have a look at Eros before killing him since she disobeyed the one thing he asked Eros says,"I'm going home, my mother cooks better than you do!" When he leaves Psyche tries to hand on to him, but slips off and finds out she's pregnant. She goes to Aphrodite and asks for her husband back, Aphrodite makes her do all these chores and animals help her (reference to Cinderella)....didn't get the rest of it, but that's most of it.

Incubus!
- Referring to how when you go to a rock concert you get an out of body experience feeling, from Dionysus King of Ecstacy
- I looked up the definition of Incubus from Wikipedia, here it is:
An incubus (nominal form constructed from the Latin verb, incubo, incubare, or "to lie upon") is ademon in male form who, according to a number of mythological and legendary traditions, lies upon sleepers, especially women, in order to have intercourse with them. Its female counterpart is thesuccubus. An incubus may pursue sexual relations with a woman in order to father a child, as in the legend of Merlin.[1] Religious tradition holds that repeated intercourse with an incubus or succubus may result in the deterioration of health, or even death
