This mural painted in 2004 by Janet Braun-Reinitz provides an artist’s commentary of the AIDS epidemic. It takes it name from a line from the poem "The Second Coming" written in 1919 by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) 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.
