The title of Bork's book "Slouching Towards Gomorrah" is taken from Yeat's poem "The Second Coming," which happens to be my signature quote. Actually, in Yeat's poem it's "slouching towards Bethlehem."
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
