Labyrinth of Solitude “What we desperately need is a concrete solution, one that will give meaning to our presence on earth.” (p. 168-69) Part II
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 convictions, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. . . W.B. Yeats. “The Second Coming” (1920)
