Most of his works are written in a language other than their own but usually they are compelled by circumstances to write in a foreign language. His conception mostly is circulated for political and ideological reasons. Waiting for Godot is a work of Beckett’s deepest levels of the mind and probes the darkest wells of anxiety. He also would be conveyed by the slightest suggestion of glibness or facility that also went forward with a painful struggle of medium expression. Similarly W.B. Yeats also represents through his The Second Coming reflects enigmatic, exasperating, complex and uncompromising refusal to conform to any of the accepted ideas of poetic construction. This poem is actually stunning, violent imagery and terrifying ritualistic language is registered anthologized from thematically obscure. Waiting for Godot and the second coming describe the condition present in the world (things falling apart, anarchy, etc) summarizes from those condition that divine power will appear and such crafting an elaborate mystical theory of the universe describe in universal philosophical lusting important through their drama and poetry i.e. extra ordinary lusting important.
