from Ischia
Noble are the plans of the shirt-sleeved engineer,
but luck, you say, does more. What design could have washed
with such delicate yellows
and pinks and greens your fishing ports
to the rigid fold of her skirts? The boiling springs
which betray her secret fever,
make limber the gout-stiffened joint
and improve the venereal act; your ambient peace
in any case is a cure for, ceasing to think
of a way to get on, we
learn to simply wander about
by twisting paths which at any moment reveal
some visual as an absolute goal; eastward, perhaps,
suddenly there, Vesuvius,
looming across the bright bland bay
like a massive family pudding, or, around
a southern point, sheer-sided Capri who by herself
defends the cult of Pleasure,
a jealous, sometimes cruel, god.
– W.H. Auden (1948)
