True,
But, 'widening gyre' can refer to many things:
The Widening Gyre may refer to the first line of Yeats's poem "The Second Coming". The Widening Gyre may also refer to: Contents.. 1 In games; 2 In literature and publications; 3 In music; 4 In television, etc.
I feel Yeat's poem is the most pertinent for our current times:
"Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate ..."
The falcon is described as "turning" in a "widening gyre" until it can no longer "hear the falconer," its human master. A gyre is a spiral that expands outward as it goes up. Yeats uses the image of gyres frequently in his writings.
There are more details of the poem here, it is very interesting reading:
