SEPTEMBER 1, 1939: W.H. Auden
 

"All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die..."

(SEPTEMBER 1, 1939: W.H. Auden)
