Additional quotes by W. H. Auden

Every day America's destroyed and re-created,
America is what you do,
America is I and you,
America is what you choose to make it.

Although you be, as I am, one of those
Who feel a Christian ought to write in prose,
For poetry is magic: born in sin, you
May read it to exorcies the Gentile in you.
