The Eternal Return

Sexson mentioned a few examples of the eternal return in literature, such as The Tempest and Indra and the Ants. One I thought should be mentioned is "The Second Coming" by W.B. Yeats. He talks about the coming of an Antichrist or a second coming from an eternal being. The eternal return is seen by some as the ability to return to the mythical age. Yeats says that the Anitchrist will be the body of a lion and the head of a man, or in other words the return of the Sphinx, "what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born." This also fits in with the belief of the eternal return being a religious symbol. Well, I just thought I'd mention it. Here's a great video that I'm sure you'll all enjoy.
P.S. It doesn't have anything to do with my post and is also a complete waste of time. Enjoy!
