from Part One of The Age of Anxiety
Malin thought:
Untalkative and tense, we took off
Anxious into the air; our instruments glowed,
Dials in darkness, for dawn was not yet;
Pulses pounded; we approached our target,
Conscious in common of our closed Here
And of Them out There, thinking of Us
And of Them out There, thinking of Us
In a different dream, for we die in theirs
Who kill in ours and become fathers,
Not twisting tracks their trigger hands are
Who kill in ours and become fathers,
Not twisting tracks their trigger hands are
Given goals by; we began our run;
Death and damage darted at our will,
Bullets were about, blazing anger
Lunged from below, but we laid our eggs
Neatly in their nest, a nice deposit,
Neatly in their nest, a nice deposit,
Hatched in an instant; houses flamed in
Shuddering sheets as we shed our big
Tears on their town: we turned to come back,
But at high altitudes, hostile brains
Waited in the west, a wily flock
Vowed to vengeance in the vast morning,
Tears on their town: we turned to come back,
But at high altitudes, hostile brains
Waited in the west, a wily flock
Vowed to vengeance in the vast morning,
– A mild morning where no marriage was,
And gravity a god greater than love –
And gravity a god greater than love –
Fierce interferers. We fought them off
But paid a price; there was pain for some.
"Why have they killed me?" wondered our Bert, our
But paid a price; there was pain for some.
"Why have they killed me?" wondered our Bert, our
Greenhouse gunner, forgot our answer,
Then was not with us. We watched others
Drop into death; dully we mourned each
Flare as it fell with a friend's lifetime,
Then was not with us. We watched others
Drop into death; dully we mourned each
Flare as it fell with a friend's lifetime,
While we hurried on to our home bases
To the safe smells and a sacrament
Of tea with toast. At twenty to eight I
Stepped onto the grass, still with the living,
While far and near a fioritura
To the safe smells and a sacrament
Of tea with toast. At twenty to eight I
Stepped onto the grass, still with the living,
While far and near a fioritura
Of brooks and blackbirds bravely struck the
International note with no sense
Of historic truth, of time meaning
Once and for all, and my watch stuttered: –
Once and for all, and my watch stuttered: –
Many have perished; more will.
– W.H. Auden (1944-46)
