Meru by William Butler Yeats
Meru by William Butler Yeats
Yeats was a spiritual man. "Meru" is actually a mountain in India and Yeats borrows from Hindu philosophy to convey his themes. The line you mention has to do with the modern world looking ordered and efficient when, in reality, the world is full of chaos and unhealthy desires.
