from In Time of War (Commentary)
'Sweet is it', say the doomed, 'to be alive though wretched',
And the young emerging from the closed parental circle,
To whose uncertainty the certain years present
Their syllabus of limitless anxiety and labour,
At first feel nothing but the gladness of their freedom,
Are happy in the new embraces and the open talk.
But liberty to be and weep has never been sufficient;
The winds surround our griefs, the unfenced sky
To all our failures is a taciturn unsmiling witness.
– W.H. Auden (1938)
