from The Quest

The over-logical fell for the witch
Whose argument converted him to stone,

Thieves rapidly absorbed the over-rich,

The over-popular went mad alone,

And kisses brutalised the over-male.

As agents their importance quickly ceased;

Yet, in proportion as they seemed to fail,

Their instrumental value was increased

For one predestined to attain their wish. 

By standing stones the blind can feel their way,
Wild dogs compel the cowardly to fight,

Beggars assist the slow to travel light,
And even madmen manage to convey

Unwelcome truths in lonely gibberish.

– W.H. Auden (1940)
