Sonnets from China
XX
Who needs their names? Another genus built
Those dictatorial avenue and squares,
Gigantic terraces, imposing stairs,
Men of a sorry kennel, racked by guilt,
Who wanted to persist in stone for ever:
Unloved, they had to leave material traces,
But these desired no statues but our faces,
To dwell there incognito, glad we never
Can dwell on what they suffered, loved or were.
Earth grew them as a bay grows fishermen
Or hills a shepherd. While they breathed, the air
All breathe took on a virtue; in our blood,
If we allow them, they can breathe again:
Happy their wish and mild to flower and flood.
– W.H. Auden (1938)
