from Ten Songs
On and on and on
The forthright catadoup
Shouts at the stone-deaf stone;
Over and over again,
Simply or as a group,
Weak diplomatic men
With a small defiant light
Salute the incumbent night.
With or without a mind,
Chafant or outwardly calm,
Each thing has an axe to grind
And exclaims its matter-of-fact;
The child with careful charm
Or a sudden opprobrious act,
The tiger, the griping fern,
Extort the world's concern.
All, all, have rights to declare,
Not one is man enough
To be, simply, publicly, there
With no private emphasis;
So my embodied love
Which, like most feeling, is
Half humbug and half true,
Asks neighborhood of you.
– W.H. Auden (1947)
