'Things fall apart: fragmentation by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/6969764): "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold..." [W. B. Yeats]. My entry in Spoonflower's 'Large Scale Fragmentation' Design Challenge. © Su Schaefer 2017 Thanks to Deborah (Anniedeb (https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/anniedeb)) for pointing me to W. B. Yeats’s 1919 poem (“The Second Coming") which was the inspiration for this design. The first stanza reads in full: "Turning and turning in the widening gyre [spiral or vortex] 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."
