O my poor Kingdom,
Sick with civil blows
Peopled with WOLVES,
Thy old inhabitants...

W.H.Auden From 'In Memory of W.B.Yeats'
Time that is intolerant Of the brave and the innocent, And indifferent in a week To a beautiful physique, Worships language and forgives Everyone by whom it lives; Pardons cowardice, conceit, Lays its honours at their feet.
Two of my favorite poets... thank you and I love the van Gogh below! :)
