from Part Three of The Age of Anxiety
Malin says:
Our ideas have got drunk and drop their H's.
Emble:
We err what we are as if we were not.
Rosetta:
The honest and holy are hissed at the races.
Quant:
God's in his greenhouse, his geese in the world.
Saying this, they woke up and recognized where they sat and who they were. The darkness which had invaded their dreams was explained, for it was closing time and the bartender was turning off the lights. What they had just dreamed they could no longer recall exactly, but when Emble and Rosetta looked at each other, they were conscious of some sweet shared secret which it might be dangerous to remember too well. Perhaps it was this which prompted Rosetta to suggest that they all come back to her apartment for a snack and a nightcap for, when they accepted, she realized that she had been expecting Quant and Malin to decline. But it was too late now. They were out in the street already and Emble had hailed a cab.
– W.H. Auden (1944-46)
