W. H. AudenA poet, qua poet, has only one political duty, namely, in his own writing to set an example of the correct use of his mother tongue, which is always being corrupted. When words lose their meaning, physical force takes over.
W. H. AudenTime will say nothing but I told you so, Time only knows the price we have to pay; If I could tell you I would let you know.
