What a fantastic quote! I’m simply unable to write poetry because I use too many words to express my mixed feelings and those are rarely ever clear 🙂
Thanks for sharing, Mae. I always love seeing what you have to share!

I love the quote, too. Love Auden (especially his early stuff), as well.
I am not a poet, except in a weird prose-y way…and only then from time to time.
It was my pleasure. I am so glad you stopped by. 🙂
