Great Poetry from Auden

Filed under: Uncategorized — scbutler @ 9:04 am

Filched from The Daily Dish.

“The ogre does what ogres can
Deeds quite impossible for man.
But one prize is beyond his reach
The ogre cannot master speech.
About a subjugated plain
Among its desperate and slain
The ogre stalks with hands on hips
While drivel gushes from his lips.”

W.H. Auden
