43. W.H. Auden - Lullaby
Lullaby, by Wystan Hugh auden. At least he s honest!
http://www.thebeckoning.com/poetry/auden/auden3.html
Revised 22 May 1999
W.H. Auden - Lullaby
Lay your sleeping head, my love,
Human on my faithless arm;
Time and fevers burn away
Individual beauty from
Thoughtful children, and the grave
Proves the child ephemeral:
But in my arms till break of day
Let the living creature lie,
Mortal, guilty, but to me
The entirely beautiful.
Soul and body have no bounds: To lovers as they lie upon Her tolerant enchanted slope In their ordinary swoon, Grave the vision Venus sends Of supernatural sympathy, Universal love and hope; While an abstract insight wakes Among the glaciers and the rocks The hermit's carnal ecstasy. Certainty, fidelity On the stroke of midnight pass Like vibrations of a bell And fashionable madmen raise Their pedantic boring cry: Every farthing cost, All the dreaded cards foretell, Shall be paid, but from this night Not a whisper, not a thought, Not a kiss nor look be lost. Beauty, midnight, vision dies: Let the winds of dawn that blow Softly round your dreaming head Such a day of welcome show Eye and knocking heart may bless

A Poet's Warning
In a witty 1946 poem, W.H. Auden contrasted the way of "experts" with the Hermetic path of the trickster.
by Adam Kirsch
In June 1946 Twenty-six thousand Harvard alumni had served in uniform during the war, and 649 of them had perished. The University itself had been integrated into the war effort at the highest level: President James Bryant Conant had been one of those consulted when President Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb on Japan. William Langer, a professor of history, had recruited many faculty members into the newly formed Office of Strategic Services, the precursor to the CIA. Now that the Cold War was under way, the partnership between the University and the federal government was destined to grow even closer. New Yorker Encamped upon the college plain
Raw veterans already train
As freshman forces;
Instructors with sarcastic tongue
Shepherd the battle-weary young
Through basic courses.

By Alan Jacobs posted 06/04/07 I n 2006, as lovers of poetry became aware that the 100th anniversary of W. H. Auden's birth was coming up, some of them began to fret that the event wouldn't receive the attention it deserved. No major celebrations seemed to be forthcoming, in pronounced contrast to the festivals for John Betjeman's centenary that were going on throughout England in the second half of 2006. The BBC gave Betjeman a whole month of festivities, and wasn't Auden a much greater poet, worthy of far more honor? didn't sic twenty-six Auden almost immediately assumed a significant public presence in the United States: in the war years and after he wrote for a remarkable range of periodicals, including

Chand Rizvi (2/11/2007 3:54:00 AM)
This poem is, in fact, a dialogue between a man of words and a man of action. The former has been called reader, fearer and horror; the latter has been referred to as rider, farer and hearer. Throughout the poem the reader keeps trying to frighten the rider mentally, psychologically and emotionally. He does not want the rider to embark on the expedition he intends to. The rider, our man of action, however, pays no heed to the imagined apprehensions of the reader and leaving them with the reader darts off. The poets use of consonance in the expressions reader rider, midden madden, fearer - farer, looking lacking, hearer horror and softly swiftly is really genius. Web pages / more info about WH Auden

"Spain 1937" by W.H.Auden
Selection:(Lines 45-56, 89-93)
And the life, if it answers at all, replies from the heart
And the eyes and the lungs, from the shops and squares of the city:
"O no, I am not the Mover,
Not today, not to you. To you I'm the "Yes-man, the bar-companion, the easily-duped:
I am whatever you do; I am your vow to be
Good, your humorous story;
I am your business voice; I am your marriage. "What's your proposal? To build the Just City? I will,
I agree. Or is it the suicide pact, the romantic
Death? Very well, I accept, for
I am your choice, your decision: yes, I am Spain."
(p. 2264) The stars are dead; the animals will not look: We are left alone with our day, and the time is short and History to the defeated May say Alas but cannot help or pardon. (p. 2265)
Discussion:
W.H. Auden's poem "Spain 1937" is a reexamination and a call to action. Like a telephoto lens, the narrative sweeps across the panorama of history, zooms in on the Spanish Civil War, focuses briefly into the future, and returns to the scene in Spain and the common realities of war. Yet, the past, present, and future are not given equal weight. Though Auden enumerates and acknowledges past achievements of civilization and admits the future may be fruitful and serene, he emphasizes the importance of the present, specifically of the outcome of Spain's Civil War, as a momentous and historical event that will in turn influence the future. And in the present, humanity must act and must struggle and not be washed passively in "Time the refreshing river" (line 36, 2264).
