If it does then the entire CAB may become rotational. I don't believe this model, if it is true, this early and this severe, well. . .
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,
That is so apposite that it occurred to me as well to post it this morning - but I thought it would go unappreciated. I guess I was wrong about that!
Where are those words from or did you make them up?
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: a waste of desert sand;
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
Wind 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?
WB Yeats, the Second Coming
