CP: Yeats portrayed Western culture as inseminated with treachery and
 > violence from the start.


Any cultural masochists ready to buy into this?

Yeats' gyre notions are impressionistic as suit his style of thinking, 
and apply to all human history. Paglia here merely appends some PC 
Western culture bashing to a distorted reading of _A Vision_, and is 
merely tiresome.
