Additional quotes by W. H. Auden

The friends who met here and embraced are gone,
Each to his own mistake;

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

For who can bear to feel himself forgotten?

Every man carries with him through life a mirror, as unique and impossible to get rid of as his shadow. - W. H. Auden
