W. H. Auden verse, angoltankönyvből, szerintem nagyon jóóó!
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffed drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplenes circle mooning overhead Scribblin on the sky He Is Dead, Put crépe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my sound, I tought that love would last forecer, I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now, put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good.
W. H. Auden (1907-1973)
