Consider

Consider this and in our time

As the hawk sees it or the helmeted airman:
The clouds rift suddenly – look there

At cigarette-end smouldering on a border

At the first garden party of the year.

Pass on, admire the view of the massif

Through plate-glass windows of the Sport Hotel;

Join there the insufficient units

Dangerous, easy, in furs, in uniform,

And constellated at reserved tables,

Supplied with feelings by an efficient band,

Relayed elsewhere to farmers and their dogs

Sitting in kitchens in the stormy fens.

Long ago, supreme Antagonist,

More powerful than the great northern whale,

Ancient and sorry at life's limiting defect,

In Cornwall, Mendip, or the Pennine moor

Your comments on the highborn mining-captains, 

Found they no answer, made them wish to die

– Lie since in barrows out of harm.

You talk to your admirers every day

By silted harbours, derelict works,

In strangled orchards, and a silent comb

Where dogs have worried or a bird was shot.

Order the ill that they attack at once:

Visit the ports and interrupting

The leisurely conversation in the bar

Within a stone's throw of the sunlit water,

Beckon your chosen out. Summon

Those handsome and diseased youngsters, those women

Your solitary agents in the country parishes;

And mobilise the powerful forces latent

In soils that make the farmer brutal,

In the infected sinus, and the eyes of stoats. 

Then, ready, start your rumour, soft

But horrifying in its capacity to disgust

Which, spreading magnified, shall come to be

A polar peril, a prodigious alarm,

Scattering the people, as torn-up paper

Rags and utensils in a sudden gust,

Seized with immeasurable neurotic dread.

Seekers after happiness, all who follow

The convolutions of your simple wish,

It is later than you think; nearer that day

Far other than that distant afternoon

Amid rustle of frocks and stamping feet

They gave the prizes to the ruined boys.

You cannot be away, then, no

Not though you pack to leave within an hour,
Escaping humming down arterial roads:

The date was yours; the prey to fugues,

Irregular breathing and alternate ascendancies

After some haunted migratory years

To disintegrate on an instant in the explosion of mania

Or lapse for ever into a classic fatigue.

– W.H. Auden (1930)
