This Loved One
Before this loved one
Was that one and that one,
A family
And history
And ghost's adversity,
Whose pleasing name
Was neighbourly shame.
Whose pleasing name
Was neighbourly shame.
Before this last one
Was much to be done,
Frontiers to cross
As clothes grew worse,
And coins to pass
In a cheaper house,
Before this last one,
Before this loved one.
Face that the sun
Is lively on
May stir but here
Is no new year;
This gratitude for gifts is less
Than the old loss,
Touching a shaking hands
On mortgaged lands,
And smiling of
This gracious greeting,
"Good day. Good luck"
Is no real meeting,
But instinctive look,
A backward love.
– W.H. Auden (1929)
