(w.h. auden)
victor was a little baby, into this world he came:
his father took him on his knee and said:’ don’t dishonour the family
name.’ victor looked up at his father- loked up with big round eyes:
his father said:’ victor, my only son, don’t you ever tell lies.’
it was a frosty december, it wsn’t the season for fruits;
his father fell dead of heart disease while lacing up his boots.
it was a frosty december when into his grave he sank;
his uncle found victor a post as a cashier in the midlands counties
bank.
it was a frosty december victor was only eighteen.
but his figures were neat and his margins straight and his cuffs were
always clean.
he took a room at the peveril, a respectableboarding-house: and time
watched victor day after day as a cat willwatch a mouse.
victor went up to his bedroom, set the alarm bell;
climbed into his bed, took his bible and read of happend to jezebel.
it was the first of april, anna to the peveril came;
her eyes, her lips, her br–sts, her hips and her smile set men
aflame. it was the second of april, she was wearing a coat of fur;
victor met her upon the stairs and fell in love with her.
the first time he made his proposal, she laughed, said:’ i’ll never
wed’:
the second time there was a pause, then she shook her head. anna
looked at the mirror, pouted and gave a frown; said;’victor’s as dull
as a wet afternoon but i’ve got to settle down.’
the third time hemade his proposal, as they walked by the reservoir,
she gave him a kiss like a blowon the head, said,’you are my heart’s
desire.’
they married early in august, she said;’kiss me, you funny
boy’:
victor took her in his arms and said:’o my helen of troy.’
the clerks were talking of anna, the door was just ajar:
one said:’poor old victor, but where ignorance is bliss, etcetera.’
victor looked up at the sunset as he stood there all alone; cried:’are
you in heaven, father?’, but the sky said’address not known.’
victor looked up at the mountains, the mountains all covered with
snow;
cried:’are you pleased with me, father?’ and the answer came
back, no.
victor came to the forest, cried:’father, will she ever be
true?’
and the oaks and the beeches shook their heads and they
answered:’ not to you.’
victor came to the meadow where the wind went
sweeping by: cried:’ o father, i love her so,’ but the wind said:’ she
must die.’
victor came to the river running so deep and so still;
crying:’ o father, what shall i do?’ and the river answered:’ kill.’
anna was sitting at table, drawing cards from a pack;
anna was sitting at table waiting for her husband to come back.
victor stood in the doorway, he didn’t utter a word;
she said:’what’s the matter, darling?’ he behaved as if he hadn’t
heard.
there was a voice in his left ear, there was a voice in the
right,
there was a voice at the base of his skull saying:’she must die
tonight.’
victor picked up a carving knife, his features were set and
drawn, said;’anna, it would have been better for you if you had not
been born.’
anna jumped up from the table, anna started to scream,
but victor cam slowly after her like a horror in a dream.
she dodged behind the sofa, she tore down a curtain rod,
but victor came slowly after her, said’ prepare to meet thy god.’
he stood there above the body, he stood there holding the knife;
and the blood ran down the stairs and sang; ‘ i am the resurrection
and the life.’
they tapped victor on the shoulder, they took him away
in a van;
he sat as quiet as a lump of moss saying; ‘ i am the son of
man.’
victor sat in a corner
making a woman of clay.
saying:’ i am alpha and omega, i shall come
to judge the earth one day.’
