Turns out the "rough beast" that was slouching towards Bethlehem was #Zionism

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?

"William Butler Yeats," John Singer Sargent, 1907.

Y'all know Sargent, the great society portraitist, by now.

In the early 1900s, Sargent was at the height of his fame, but also starting to slow down a bit. He'd gone hither and yon doing portraits of anybody who was anybody, and had weathered the "Madame X" scandal, and had continued to work at a prolific pace. But soon after this portrait (a commission, to be the frontispiece to a collection of Yeats' poetry), he officially closed his London studio and slowed down significantly....but still painted, almost up until his passing in 1925.

Yeats (1865-1913) was an Irish poet, playwright, and critic who was one of the great figures of 20th century literature. He co-founded Dublin's Abbey Theatre, was the driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival, was an Irish Nationalist, and received the 1923 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Although he was in his 40s when this was drawn, he looks quite young. Yeats was known to be fussy about his appearance, and to cultivate a Boho image; perhaps Sargent was being flattering. But spare charcoal-on-paper style works wonderfully.

Happy Portrait Monday!

From a private collection.

William Butler Yeats

„Was ist Anmut anderes als Flucht vor dem Mechanismus? Insofern die Welt vom Kampf der Interessen beherrscht wird, ist sie ein Mechanismus. Die Zeitung ist das Rattern der Maschine. Sobald es darum geht, recht zu haben, werden Argumente zum Widerstreit von Interessen. Man sollte, vor allem in Büchern, die nach Unsterblichkeit dürsten, überhaupt keine Argumente vertreten, wenn man nicht bereit ist, den offenbaren Sieg einem anderen zu überlassen. Im täglichen Leben wird man in dem Augenblick ungezogen, wo man dem Clown seinen ständigen Triumph missgönnt.“

"A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown."

“For the psychologist, Wilfred Bion, negative capability was about not giving in to the temptation to continually engage with the safety of the familiar.”
