OT: Food for Thoughts 1

["Kevin Mulvihill" <kmulvihill@mediaone.net>]

"I sit in one of the dives
On Fifty-second Street
Uncertain and afraid
As the clever hopes expire
Of a low dishonest decade;
Waves of anger and fear
Circulate over the bright
And darkened lands of the earth,
Obsessing our private lives;
The unmentionable odour of death
Offends the September night."

- W. H. Auden, September 1, 1939.
