from Shorts
Behold the manly mesomorph
Showing his bulging biceps off,
Whom social workers love to touch,
Though the loveliest girls do not care for him much.
Pretty to watch with bat or ball,
An Achilles, too, in a bar-room brawl,
But in the ditch of hopeless odds,
The hour of desertion by brass and gods,
Not a hero. It is the pink-and-white
Fastidious, almost girlish, in the night
When the proud-arsed broad-shouldered break and run,
Who covers their retreat, dies at his gun.
– W.H. Auden (ca. 1950)
