Auden for Wednesday: The years shall run like rabbits
Our favorite Audens
1. As I Walked Out One Evening (You heard that line in Before Sunrise.)
2. Musée des Beaux Arts
“In Breughel’s Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster…”
4. O Tell Me The Truth About Love
When it comes, will it come without warning
Just as I’m picking my nose?
Will it knock on my door in the morning,
Or tread in the bus on my toes?
5. Pretty much everything.

That painting is my favorite. When stressed, I’d feel like Icarus, but this inspires me to take another POV to appreciate everything else.
