That woman is so beautiful. Nice smile, beautiful eyes. I like her voice too.

TS Eliot's key poems are the definition of nightmare fuel. Too real, too real...

I do not read this poem in the Christian context, but as descriptive of an infinite  range of life situations:

 

 

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: somewhere in sands of the desert   
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   
Reel 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?

Last night I have another bad nightmare, sex dream: I was flirting with one man I feel very attracted in 2010, and the scene it was like ballet, Gisele, in the middle of the street but in anonymous way, all people walking, nobody watching it. And when he started to kiss, and then, make love, on the floor, with nobody watching or looking, an elegant blonde was walking and he touched her, and started to kissed them while I was under... I feel really bad, used, and start to cried, ran and go out. He stoped to kised her, and call me, with true feelings, but it was later, and really dirty to me. 

 

Really bad, feel  sad
