Alas! (aka: 'An obscure poetic reference to this season')

Post by doe_boy »

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.

So what rough beast slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Is Aaron Miles cloning himself?

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
