My Poet Pages Poet Links W. H. Auden (1907-73) That night when joy began Our narrowest veins to flush, We waited for the flash Of morning's levelled gun. But morning let us pass, And day by day relief Outgrows his nervous laugh, Grown credulous of peace, As mile by mile is seen No trespasser's reproach, And love's best glasses reach No fields but are his own.

Wystan Hugh Auden Were all stars to disappear or die, I should learn to look at an empty sky And feel its total darkness sublime, Though this might take me a little time. W. H. Auden Funeral Blues The Unknown Citizen Lay Your Sleeping Head, My Love ... The Two The English-born American writer Wystan Hugh Auden was one of the most important poets of the 20th century. Auden was born in York, the son of a physician. At first interested in science, he soon turned to poetry. In 1925 he entered Christ Church College, University of Oxford, where he became the center of a group of young leftist writers who generally expressed a socialist viewpoint, while continuing the artistic revolution of such earlier writers as T. S. Eliot , James Joyce, and Ezra Pound. This group included the poets Louis MacNiece and Stephen Spender and the novelist Christopher Isherwood. After graduating in 1928, he spent five years as a schoolmaster in Scotland and England. Auden's earliest works are startling in several ways. They contain unusual meters, words, and images, juxtapose industrial and natural landscapes, and mix the rhythms of poetry with those of jazz music. Some critics feel that Auden's first books, Poems (1930) and The Orators, an English Study

During the 1930s he was the leader of a left-wing literary group that included Christopher Isherwood and Stephen Spender . With Isherwood he wrote three verse plays, The Dog beneath the Skin The Ascent of F6 (1936), and On the Frontier (1938), and Journey to a War (1939), a record of their experiences in China. He lived in Germany during the early days of Nazism, and was a stretcher-bearer for the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War. Auden's first volume of poetry appeared in 1930.

Auden (1907-1973) - Wystan Hugh Auden English-born poet, whose world view developed from youthful rebellion to rediscovered Anglo-Catholicism. In his work Auden reconciled tradition and modernism. Auden is widely considered among the greatest literary figures of the 20th century. "But time is always guilty. Someone must pay for Our loss of happiness, our happiness itself." (from 'Detective Story' in Collected Poems Wystan Hugh Auden was born in York, North Yorkshire, as the son of George Augustus Auden, a distinguished physician, and Rosalie (Bicknell) Auden. Solihull in the West Midlands, where Auden was brought up, remained important to him as a poet. Auden was educated at St. Edmund's Hindhood and then at Gresham's School, Holt, Norfolk. In 1925 he entered Christ Church, Oxford. Auden's studies and writing progressed without much success: he took a disappointing third-class degree in English. And his first collection of poems was rejected by T. S. Eliot

Auden Random House, 94 pp. "Art is born of humiliation," said the young Auden to the young hopeful Spender. And we saw in the first of these three essays how he continued to believe this. He thought of the Sonnets as a private record of Shakespeare's humiliation at the hands of both the young man and the Dark Lady, for the sonnets addressed to her are "concerned with that most humiliating of all erotic experiences, sexu-al infatuation." "Simple lust," said Auden, is impersonal, that is to say the pursuer regards himself as a person but the object of his pursuit as a thing, to whose personal qualities, if she has any, he is indifferent, and, if he succeeds, he expects to be able to make a safe getaway as soon as he becomes bored. Sometimes, however, he gets trapped. Instead of becoming bored, he becomes sexually obsessed, and the girl, instead of conveniently remaining an object, becomes a real person to him, but a person whom he not only does not love, he actively dislikes. And Auden adds that "no other poet, not even Catullus, has described the anguish, self-contempt, and rage produced by this unfortunate condition so well as Shakespeare in some of these sonnets."

Ever since, he has been admired for his unsurpassed technical virtuosity and an ability to write poems in nearly every imaginable verse form; the incorporation in his work of popular culture, current events, and vernacular speech; and also for the vast range of his intellect, which drew easily from an extraordinary variety of literatures, art forms, social and political theories, and scientific and technical information.

Auden, W. H. The British-born Wystan Hugh Auden (1907-73) read, owned, and distributed copies of Sigmund Freud 's writings when he was at Gresham's School, Norfolk, in his eighteenth year. His interest in psychoanalysis persisted after he went up to Oxford in 1925 but received its greatest fillip in Berlin in 1928, when he met John Layard, who had been a patient of the American psychologist Homer Lane. Through Layard, Auden became familiar with the theories not only of Lane but also of Georg Groddeck. In these thinkers, as in Freud and D. H. Lawrence , with whom he was already familiar, he found what Humphrey Carpenter has called "a positive doctrine of psychological liberation" (89), which left a lasting mark on his personal life as well as on his poetry and criticism. In his Oxford years Auden had also read Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels , whose political and economic theories he readily assimilated within the framework of Freudian psychology as he understood it. In 1935 he was able to argue that Marx and Freud were both "right": "As long as civilisation remains as it is, the number of patients the psychologist can cure are very few, and as soon as socialism attains power, it must learn to direct its own interior energy and will need the psychologist" ( English 341). Auden was never orthodox in either his Freudianism or his Marxism and moved on to consider other ideologies as the basis for his life and art. The most notableand most durableof these was Christianity, to which he was reconverted in 1940, shortly after he had settled in New York. In
