In “The Second Coming,” how do you interpret the symbol of the gyre?

In Yeats's "The Second Coming," "gyre" is used to represent the swirling, turning landscape of life itself. Gyres appear in many of Yeats's poems. He uses it to represent the systems that make up life, the push-pulls between freedom and control that spin together to create existence.

Explanation:

in paragraph 6 of "sinners in the hands of an angry god" by jonathan edwards, he talks about how doing good things alone will not save men from going to hell because they're at the mercy of the will of god. "spiritual reform" provides men with a false sense of safety.
