from Statement
One is saved from drowning by a submerged stake. One healed by drinking from a holy well. One is honoured by a countess with a gift of grapes. One is hailed as the master by monthly reviews. One is known in his club as 'the Skipper'. One discovers in middle age his talent for painting. One is a hero, covered with medals, is greeted by bands. One wins a battle through a change in the weather. One has a unique collection of indigenous insects.
– W.H. Auden, The Orators (1931)
