I expect that Moley here didn't realise that people wouldn't recognise
that poem!

And I am, I confess, more than a little surprised. Surely one of
Auden's best known? And that line,  "poetry makes nothing happen", one
of his most quoted? Certainly one of my favourites of all time. (I'm
sure that Wystan would appreciate the workshopping; that last stanza
is in my eyes pretty incredible...)

All best
