W. H. Auden

W. H. Auden was a renowned British-American poet known for his innovative and diverse body of work that explored themes of love, politics, and society.

"It is nonsense to speak of 'higher' and 'lower' pleasures. To a hungry man it is rightly more important that he eat than that he philosophize."
W. H. Auden
"It is a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it."
W. H. Auden
