In the poem "<em>The Second Coming</em>"  written by William Yeats, the author explores Anarchy and chaotic scenarios where things fall apart and order can only be reestablished by the return of <em>Jesus Christ</em> on earth.

When the author uses the phrase "<em>The ceremony of innocence is drowned</em>" he refers to a set of circumstances of violence, brutality and horror caused by what he calls "<em>a loose blood dimmed tide</em>" which suffocates purity and freshness, describing a cataclysm; worthy of resemblance to biblical passages of events involving destruction on a catastrophic scale such as Noah’s flood, or the total and final destruction of the world, described in the book of Revelation as "<em>The Apocalypse</em>".

The poem seems to be the author's emotional release after the presumable trauma of <em>World War I</em> around that time in Europe, since it was written in 1919.

It's an evident appeal to a Christian concept in seek of spiritual refreshment as a cathartic method to purge his likely repressed emotions in the post-war environment.

LINDNER (taking off his glasses): Well—I don't suppose that you feel . . .
sergiy2304 [10]

Well, you notice how Lindner is very hesitant in his speech? That shows that he’s pretty reluctant to have to deal with the conflict of moving this family into that neighborhood. He’s at his wits end and he doesn’t understand why people are reacting the way they do or how to satisfy everyone in this situation. He’s not a man who deals well with conflict, but he’s also definitely not apologizing for feeling the way he feels. Rather, he’s frustrated that they’re not seeing it from <em>his</em> side, y’see? He’s not angry, though, as he tries to stay cordial even while explaining how he sees it. It’s almost more like he’s whining, a little?? lol

Anyways, I think the answer is desperate and abrupt. Hope this helped, and if not, I’m really sorry!!

zysi [14]
It's such a typical scene, mass delirium, however we more often than not observe it in a considerably less uncommon shape. In a nursery, when one infant begins crying, they all begin crying. At the point when a couple of children on a play area begin singling out somebody, the rest float around, cheer, and possibly get a kick or two. At the point when there is a radical deal on wedding outfits, groups of individuals go insane.
