from Six Odes
Not, Father, further do prolong
Our necessary defeat;
Spare us the numbing zero-hour,
The desert-long retreat.
Against your direct light, displayed,
Regardant, absolute,
In person stubborn and oblique
Our maddened set we foot.
These nissen huts if hiding could
Your eye inseeing from
Firm fenders were, but look! to us
Your loosened angers come.
Against your accusations
Though ready wit devise,
Nor magic countersigns prevail
Nor airy sacrifice.
Weaker we are, and strict within
Your organized blockade,
And from our desperate shore the last
Few pallid youngsters fled.
Be not another than our hope;
Expect we routed shall
Upon your peace; with ray disarm,
Illumine, and not kill.
– W.H. Auden, The Orators (1931)
