“We are here on earth to do good to others. What the others are here for, I don’t know.”
~ W.H. Auden
Poet Writer Albany NY
Beauty, midnight, vision dies:
Let the winds of dawn that blow
Softly round your dreaming head
Such a day of welcome show
Eye and knocking heart may bless,
Find the mortal world enough;
Noons of dryness find you fed
By the involuntary powers,
Nights of insult let you pass
Watched by every human love.
~ W.H. Auden
