from Ischia
There is a time to admit how much the sword decides,
with flourishing horns to salute the conqueror,
with flourishing horns to salute the conqueror,
impassive, cloaked and great on
horseback under his faffling flag.
Changes of heart should also occasion song, like his
who, turning back from the crusaders' harbor, broke
with our aggressive habit
once and for all and was the first
to see all penniless creatures as our siblings. Then
at all times it is good to praise the shining earth,
dear to us whether we choose our
duty or do something horrible.
Dearest to each his birthplace; but to recall a green
valley where mushrooms fatten in the summer nights
and silvered willows copy
the circumflexions of the stream
is not my gladness today: I am presently moved
by sun-drenched Parthenopea, my thanks are for you,
Ischia, to whom a fair wind has
brought me rejoicing with dear friends
from soiled productive cities. How well you correct
our injured eyes, how gently you train us to see
things and men in perspective
underneath your uniform light.
– W.H. Auden (1948)
