Oxford

Nature invades: old rooks in each college garden
Still talk, like agile babies, the language of feeling,
By towers a river still runs coastward and will run,
          Stones in those towers are utterly
          Satisfied still with their weight.

Mineral and creature, so deeply in love with themselves
Their sin of accidie excludes all others,
Challenge our high-strung students with a careless beauty,
          Setting a single error
          Against their countless faults.

Outside, some factories, then a whole green country
Where a cigarette comforts the evil, a hymn the weak,
Where thousands fidget and poke and spend their money:
          Eros Paidagogos
          Weeps on his virginal bed.

And over this talkative city like any other
Weep the non-attached angels. Here too the knowledge of death
Is a consuming love, and the natural heart refuses
          A low unflattering voice
          That sleeps not till it find a hearing.

– W.H. Auden (1937)
