> Time that is intolerant
Of the brave and innocent,
And indifferent in a week
To a beautiful physique,
> Worships language and forgives
Everyone by whom it lives,
Pardons cowardice, conceit,
Lays its honors at their feet.
> Time that with this strange excuse
Pardoned Kipling and his views,
And will pardon Paul Claudel,
Pardons him for writing well.https://newrepublic.com/article/165810/wh-auden-memory-wb-yeats
