That the speech of self-disclosure should be translatable seems to me very odd, but I am convinced that it is. The conclusion that I draw is that the only quality which all human being without exception possess is uniqueness: any characteristic, on the other hand, which one individual can be recognized as having in common with another, like red hair or the English language, implies the existence of other individual qualities which this classification excludes.
W. H. AudenLike love we don't know where or why Like love we cant compel or fly Like Love we often weep Like Love we seldom keep
W. H. AudenEarth, receive an honored guest; William Yeats is laid to rest. Let the Irish vessel lie Emptied of its poetry.
