About This Quote

The day of the absolute is over, and we're in for the strange gods once more is a quote from a line in a poem by W.B. Yeats on the nature of the new age that is about to begin. In this quote, Yeats speaks of a world where reason and faith will no longer be pitted against one another as they have been since the Enlightenment. Instead, Yeats sees faith as being something that can guide reason rather than being something that must be disproved. In this new age, Yeats believed that the strange gods will take over and control the world.
