Love without sex is still the most efficient form of hell known to man.
It is Australian innocence to love The naturally excessive and be proud Of a thoroughbred gelding who ran fast.
I started off in England and very few people knew I was Australian. I mean, the clues were in the poems, but they didn't read them very carefully, and so for years and years I was considered completely part of the English poetry scene.
I have no fondness for pure form at all.
Poetry is either language lit up by life or life lit up by language
Auden is an accomplished rhymer and Shakespeare is not.
