„Follow, poet, follow rightTo the bottom of the night,With your unconstraining voiceStill persuade us to rejoice; With the farming of a verseMake a vineyard of the curse,Sing of human unsuccessIn a rapture of distress; In the deserts of the heartLet the healing fountains start,In the prison of his daysTeach the free man how to praise.“

— W. H. Auden
