    Been waiting for this much lauded second coming slash Armageddon for a while now. Any day now, I’m sure.

      The rough beast hasn’t slouched towards Bethlehem to be born quite yet. Its hour hasn’t come, I guess

      If you want an apocalyptic vision, Yeats’s Second Coming is far superior to the schizo-rantings and low-effort numerology of John the Divine, just as the Divine Comedy, Paradise Lost and The Marriage of Heaven and Hell are better scriptures than the canonical ones.
