from Part Five of The Age of Anxiety
Rosetta and Emble had stopped dancing and sat down on the couch. Now he put his arm around her and said:
Enter my aim from all directions, O
Enter my aim from all directions, O
Special spirit whose expressions are
My carnal care, my consolation:
Be many or one. Meet me by chance on
Credulous coasts where cults intersect
Or join as arranged by the Giants' Graves,
Titanic tombs which at twilight bring
Greetings from the great misguided dead;
Hide from, haunt me, on hills to be seen
Far away through the forelegs of mares;
Stay till I come in the startling light
When the tunnel turns to teach surprise,
Stay till I come in the startling light
When the tunnel turns to teach surprise,
Or face me and fight for a final stand
With a brave blade in your buffer states,
My visible verb, my very dear,
With a brave blade in your buffer states,
My visible verb, my very dear,
Till I die, darling.
Rosetta laid her head on his shoulder and said:
O the deep roots
Of the cross-roads yew, calm for so long,
Rosetta laid her head on his shoulder and said:
O the deep roots
Of the cross-roads yew, calm for so long,
Have felt you afar and faintly begin
To tingle now. What twitters there'll be in
The brook bushes at the bright sound of
Your bicycle bell. What barking then
As you stride the stiles to startle one
Great cry in the kitchen when you come home,
As you stride the stiles to startle one
Great cry in the kitchen when you come home,
My doom, my darling.
– W.H. Auden (1944-46)
