A shilling life will give you all the facts.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

W. H. Auden
