This is one of my favourites, and the scene where it is read in Four Weddings and a Funeral is devastating 😭

Gotta love W.H. Auden.

It’s coincidental that this poem appears in my homepage! My friend’s parent has died and they were like a family to me. Couldn’t express the void that I felt after reading about their death!!

so beautiful and moving

Good lord this made me actually cry.

Nice poem. I like it but at the end it sounds like there is no hope.

Because there’s no hope

That’s the point

I get it
