At the end of Stanza 1, Yeats adeptly describes the story of Noah’s ark, but the animals are not in an orderly manner, they are chaotic and distressed. The dramatized words “blood-dimmed tide,” (Stanza 1, line 5) shows the perspective of the animals which didn’t get to the ark. This represents the fall of religion and how the story differs from the Book of Revelations. Yeats shows his…

The book, “Things Fall Apart”, by Chinua Achebe gets its name from the poem, “The Second Coming”, by W. B. Yeats. These two written works have many things in common. They share a common theme and back it up with several literary elements.
