from Shorts II
How many ravishing things whose innocent beauty astound us
owe their existence to Greed, Fear or Vainglory or Guilt.
* * *
Blessed be all metrical rules that forbid automatic responses,
force us to have second thoughts, free from the fetters of Self.
* * *
To-day two poems begged to be written: I had to refuse them.
Sorry, no longer, my dear! Sorry, my precious, not yet!
* * *
When two persons discover they have a passion in common,
Sex, Donizetti or Chows, Class is no barrier at all:
secret to every class, though, its code of polite conversation,
how one should carry on when talking to strangers and bores.
– W.H. Auden (1969-71)
