from In Time of War
They died and entered the closed life like nuns:
Even the very poor lost something; oppression
Was no more a fact; and the self-centered ones
Took up an even more extreme position.
And the kingly and the saintly also were
Distributed among the woods and oceans,
And touch our open sorrow everywhere,
Airs, waters, places, round our sex and reasons;
Are what we feed on as we make our choice.
We bring them back with promises to free them,
But as ourselves continually betray them:
They hear their deaths lamented in our voice,
But in our knowledge know we could restore them;
They could return to freedom; they would rejoice.
– W.H. Auden (1938)
