Trump is like Candyman. Ryan has called him out three times and now he is real.

It's ok for Sleepy Ben, though. He knows Jesus personally and squared it with the big guy.

Yeats was probably writing about the same sort of rhetorical bombthrowers and political arsonists, though, so it's appropriate. The poem seems to be about the Irish revolution and Troubles. So, yeah, "passionate intensity" probably referred to people like IRA leader Michael Collins and other incendiary firebrands from Ireland in the late teens/20s.

Well that would certainly be swell. Sadly, I can't allow myself to entertain that as I am not even sure we won't have a President Trump.
