Half Way
Having abdicated with comparative ease
And dismissed the greater part of your friends,
Escaping by submarine
In a false beard, half-hoping the ports were watched,
You have got here, and it isn't snowing:
How shall we celebrate your arrival?
Of course we shall mention
Your annual camp for the Tutbury glass-workers,
Your bird-photography phase, your dream at the Hook,
Even your winter in Prague, though not very fully:
Your public refusal of a compass
Is fixed for to-morrow.
Now look at this map.
Red means a first-class, yellow a second-class road,
Crossed swords are for battlefields, gothic characters
For places of archaeological interest.
Our man will drive you as far as the Shot Tower;
Further than that, we fear, is impossible.
At Bigsweir look out for the Kelpie.
If you meet Mr. Wren it is wiser to hide.
Consult before leaving a water-doctor.
Do you wish to ask any questions?
Good. You may go.
– W.H. Auden (1930)
