five from w. h . auden


A professor is someone who talks in someone else's sleep.

~~~~~

We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for I don't know.

~~~~~

All that we are not stares back at what we are

~~~~~

Music is the best means we have of digesting time.

~~~~~

You owe it to all of us to get on with what you're good at.

  1. “Behind the corpse in the reservoir, behind the ghost on the links,
    Behind the lady who dances and the man who madly drinks,
    Under the look of fatigue, the attack of migraine and the sigh
    There is always another story, there is more than meets the eye.”
    ― W.H. Auden

    One of my favourite geniuses.
