from New Year Letter

Blake shouted insults, Rousseau wept,
Ironic Kierkegaard stared long
And muttered "All are in the wrong,"
While Baudelaire went mad protesting
That progress was not interesting
And thought he was an albatross,
The great Erotic on the cross
Of Science, crucified by fools
Who sit all day on office stools,
Are fairly faithful to their wives
And play for safety all their lives,
For whose Verbürgerlichung of 
All joy and suffering and love
Let the grand pariah atone
By dying hated and alone.

The World ignored them; they were few,
The careless victor never knew
Their grapevine rumour would grow true,
Their alphabet of warning sounds
The common grammar all have grounds
To study; for their guess is proved:
It is the Mover that is moved.

– W.H. Auden (1940)
