Additional quotes by W. H. Auden

Mad Ireland hurt you into poetry.

The stars are dead. The animals will not look. We are left alone with our day, and the time is short, and History to the defeated May say Alas but cannot help nor pardon.

The years shall run like rabbits,
For in my arms I hold
The Flower of the Ages,
And the first love of the world.
