The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
"The Center Cannot Hold" > "Empty Night"
Conspiracy Theorist:
The poem very much reflects the additional chapters written for Battle Ground about the Kraken, especially the last three lines where the flare and the grenade kill the Kraken in front of Murphy, Freydis, Lara, Molly and Harry.
Murphy has been depicted in Sight as a war torn Angel, Freydis is a Valkyrie, a Norse angel equivalent.
Wicked Woodpecker of West:
I also would like to point - there is literal text about centre that cannot hold in one of Dresden books straight up from "Second Coming" poem.
Oh, I found it - in last chapter of "Storm Front" in his sort of Badass Boast Harry says: "The world is getting weirder. Darker every single day. Things are spinning around faster and faster, and threatening to go completely awry. Falcons and falconers. The center cannot hold..."

Yup, but then Harry was still young and foolish..
Wicked Woodpecker of West:
Well yes but it's still sort of foreshadowing of things to come.
And Jim said - there are Chekhov's guns in Storm Front that will shoot only in BAT.

Which is why I started the post to begin with, what HWWBs tells Harry really maps out the coming BAT and reflects the above poems. It was also an effort to tie events from the series to them.
