Ah! A student of philosophy! You must have played in the Pac 12!
In my student days, for some reason I found poetic expression of Hegel's historical dialectic in the following lines from Yeats:
"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer"
Of course, the rest paints a different picture:
"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."
The point being, in a stream of consciousness kind of way, this Yeat's stanza reminds me of recent Packer defenses. Yeah, that's right, LOL.
All I can say (well, certainly not "all"
), is the widening defensive gyre better start narrowing, the falcons' swirls start climbing up and stop spinning down, and the falconer and his falcons get on the same page.
