Centenary W.H. Auden

Wystan Hugh Auden (21 February 1907 – 29 September 1973, Anglo-American poet, regarded by many as one of the great writers of the 20th century, who lived for some time in Austria and died here would be 100 today.

There's a post I wrote in May 2005 with reference to Auden.

A few lines from

Case Histories

I am beginning to lose patience
With my personal relations.
They are not deep
And they are not cheap.

* Written 1930, published in The English Auden

My favourite though, is, was and will always be Lullaby.
