Bright Young Things discussion

I think Auden is one of the best poets for the period between the wars. Here's a favorite of mine, As I Walked Out One Evening, from 1937.

One of Auden's that I love is Musee des Beaux Arts.

I love both of these - my favourite has to be Funeral Blues though:

Yes...Funeral Blues certainly packs an emotional punch doesn't it.

Another one of his well known ones that is very moving is Lullaby: http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/pr...

i also like funeral blues. another fave of mine is on an athlete dying young (is that the right title? I'm on the phone and can't check easily ).
