.... The Holy Ghost
does not abhor a golfer's jargon,
a lower Austrian accent, the cadences even
of my own little anglo-american
musico-literary set (although difficult,
saints may at least think in algebra
without sin): but no scared nonsense can stand Him....
.... about
catastrophe or how to behave in one
I know nothing, except what everyone knows -
that if there when Grace dances, I should dance.
- W. H. Auden, from 'Whitsunday In Kirchstetten'
