from The Sea and the Mirror
Trinculo:
Mechanic, merchant, king
Are warmed by the cold clown
Whose head is in the clouds
And never can get down.
Into a solitude
Undreamed of by their fat
Quick dreams have lifted me;
The north wind steals my hat.
On clear days I can see
Green acres far below,
And the red roof where I
Was Little Trinculo.
There lies that solid world
These hands can never reach;
My history, my love,
Is but a choice of speech.
A terror shakes my tree,
A flock of words fly out,
Whereat a laughter shakes
The busy and devout.
Wild images, come down
Out of your freezing sky,
That I, like shorter men,
May get my joke and die.
May get my joke and die.
– W.H. Auden (1942-44)
