A word in the first line of this poem is a reference to author's theory of history described in the philosophical text A Vision. First printed in "The Dial," it references a blood-dimmed tide which drowns a ceremony of innocence, a lion's (*) body with the head of a man, and a rough beast wakened after two thousand years of stony sleep. Also lamenting that "the falcon cannot hear the falconer" and presenting the theory of the "widening gyre," this poem was the source of the title for the book Things Fall Apart. For 10 points, name this poem by William Butler Yeats named for the prophesied return of Jesus?
