Poetry

Auden

Looks like Auden will be printed on the subway. He founded the Guild of Scholars, a lay Episcopal organization of professors, and wrote, I think the clearest exposition of Pauline theology in Law like Love.

Law, say the gardeners, is the sun,
Law is the one
All gardeners obey
To-morrow, yesterday, to-day.

Law is the wisdom of the old,
The impotent grandfathers feebly scold;
The grandchildren put out a treble tongue,
Law is the senses of the young.
