“Joseph, Mary, pray for those
Misled by moonlight and the rose,
For all in our perplexity.
Lovers who hear a distant bell
That tolls from somewhere in their head
Across the valley of their dream…
Pray for us romantics, pray.”
W.H. Auden, from his Christmas Oratorio.

We are here on earth to do good unto others. What the others are here for, I have no idea.

In the nightmare of the dark
All the dogs of Europe bark,
And the living nations wait,
Each sequestered in its hate;

Intellectual disgrace
Stares from every human face,
And the seas of pity lie
Locked and frozen in each eye.

“Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public
doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.”
W.H. Auden, died 29 September 1973

#whauden #poem

Follow poet, follow right
To the bottom of the night
With your unconstraining voice
Still persuade us to rejoice

With the farming of a verse
Make a vineyard of the curse
Sing of human unsuccess
In a rapture of distress

#WHAuden who died #OnThisDay in 1973

“Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.”
W.H. Auden, born 21 February 1907

“Nothing is with me now but a sound,
A heart’s rhythm, a sense of stars”

#WildAtlanticWay #October #WHAuden

Been indulging myself with some #SeamusHeaney #WHAuden #KeithDouglas and #LouisMacNeice on #NationalPoetryDay .

If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Porque o cine tamén educa, descubrín este poema de W. H. Auden en 'Catro vodas e un funeral' e case o aprendo de memoria, tamén en inglés 😍 #NiUnDíaSinPoesía #poetas #arte #HaceFaltaPoesía #poemas #WHAuden #amor #vida
