Quotes about W h auden

Acts of injustice done
Between the setting and the rising sun
In history lie like bones, each one.

W.H. Auden (1907 - 1973)

Quote

The most conspicuous thing about suffering is, as W.H. Auden once observed, its banality. The day is green, the sun is shinging, someone is eating, or opening a window, the torturer's horse is scatching its innocent behind on a tree, and in a mere second someone we love is dead.
