Verse For The Day

By The Daily Dish
Jun 22 2009, 11:04 AM ET

More Auden, this time in response to the Prague spring:

The ogre does what ogres can
Deeds quite impossible for man.
But one prize is beyond his reach
The ogre cannot master speech.
About a subjugated plain
Among its desperate and slain
The ogre stalks with hands on hips
While drivel gushes from his lips.
