PROGRAM NOTES:

Date this lecture was recorded: January 30, 2017

In today's podcast Lorenzo explains how he came to his decision to not vote in last year's presidential election. He begins by quoting part of a poem by William Butler Yeats which read:

Things fall apart; the center 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.

And by changing a single word in the final two lines of that poem, it would conclude:

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards Washington to be born?
