 W. H. Auden
Regarded as one of the greatest of the 20th century.
|
|
evil
Evil is always unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed
and eats at our own table.
|
|
Stop all the clocks
He was my North,my South,my East and West,
My working week and Sunday rest.
|
|
The Shield of Achilles
She looked over his shoulders.
|
|
The More Loving One
If equal affection cannot be,let the more loving be me.
|
|
September,1,1939
Negation and despair
Show an affirming flame.
|
|
dreams
Learn from your dreams what you lack.
|
|
Stop all the clocks
And last Night I dreamed of you, Johnny my lover,
You'd the sun on one arm and the moon on the other.
|
|
As I walked out one Evening
It was late, late in the evening
The lovers they were gone
The clocks has ceased their chiming
And the deep river ran on
|
|
Good and Evil
Good can imagine Evil, but Evil can not imagine Good.
|
|
To Ask the Hard question is simple
To ask the hard question is simple,
The simple act of the confused will.

my fovorite Auden
Stop all the clocks

My working week and Sunday rest.

Funeral Blues
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone
|
|
Faith
"In a world of prayer, we are all equal in the sense that each of
us is a unique person, with a unique perspective on the world, a member of
a class of one."
|
|
Death
Death is the sound of a distant
thunder at a picnic.
|
|
Experience
Before people complain of the obscurity of modern poetry, they should
first examine their consciences and ask themselves with how many people
and on how many occasions they have genuinely and profoundly shared
some experience with another.
|
|
Funeral Blues
I though that love would last forever. I was wrong.
