More From W. H. Auden
- "A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become."
- "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."
- "The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living."
