Sonnets from China
IV
He stayed, and was imprisoned in possession:
By turns the seasons guarded his one way,
The mountains chose the mother of his children,
In lieu of conscience the sun ruled his day.
Beyond him, his young cousins in the city
Pursued their rapid and unnatural courses,
Believed in nothing but were easy-going,
Far less afraid of strangers than of horses.
He, though, changed little,
But took his colour from the earth,
And grew in likeness to his fowls and cattle.
The townsman thought him miserly and simple,
Unhappy poets took him for the truth,
And tyrants held him up as an example.
– W.H. Auden (1938)
