“After all, it’s rather a privilege
amid the affluent traffic
to serve this unpopular art which cannot be turned into

or hung as a status trophy by rising executives,
cannot be ‘done’ like Venice
or abridged like Tolstoy, but stubbornly still insists upon
being read or ignored … ”
W. H. Auden, regarding poetry
