W. H. Auden
Nobody knows what the cause is, Though some pretend they do; It's like some hidden assassin; Waiting to strike at you. Childless women get it, And men when they retire; It's as if there had to be some outlet; For their foiled creative.
W. H. Auden
The center that I cannot find is known to my unconscious mind.
W. H. Auden

W. H. Auden
Five minutes on even the nicest mountain; Is awfully long.
W. H. Auden
