from Statement
One slips on crag, is buried by guides. One gets cramp in the bay, sinks like a stone near crowded tea-shops. One is destroyed in his bath, the geyser exploding. One is arrested for indecent exposure. One suffers from an intestinal worm; men remark on his paleness. One believes himself to be two persons, is restrained with straps. One cannot remember the day of the week. One is impotent from fear of the judgment. One pays for foolishness with the loss of land. One loses his job for an error in long division. One drinks alone in another country. One repels by unsightly facial eruptions; one is despised for wearing stiff collars. The wife of one is unfaithful with schoolboys. One is bullied by his elder sister; one is disappointed in his youngest son.
– W.H. Auden, The Orators (1931)
