(w.h. auden)victor was a little baby into this world he came:his father took him on his knee and said:' don't dishonour the familyname.' victor looked up at his father- loked up with big round eyes:his father said:' victor my only son don't you ever tell lies.'it was a frosty december it wsn't the season for fruits;his father fell dead of heart disease while lacing up his boots.it was a frosty december when into his grave he sank;his uncle found victor a post as a cashier in the midlands countiesbank.it was a frosty december victor was only eighteen.but his figures were neat and his margins straight and his cuffs werealways clean.he took a room at the peveril a respectableboarding-house: and timewatched victor day after day as a cat willwatch a mouse.victor went up to his bedroom set the alarm bell;climbed into his bed took his bible and read of happend to jezebel.it was the first of april anna to the peveril came;her eyes her lips her breasts her hips and her smile set menaflame. it was the second of april she was wearing a coat of fur;victor met her upon the stairs and fell in love with her.the first time he made his proposal she laughed said:' i'll neverwed':the second time there was a pause then she shook her head. annalooked at the mirror pouted and gave a frown; said;'victor's as dullas a wet afternoon but i've got to settle down.'the third time hemade his proposal as they walked by the reservoirshe gave him a kiss like a blowon the head said'you are my heart'sdesire.'they married early in august she said;'kiss me you funnyboy':victor took her in his arms and said:'o my helen of troy.'the clerks were talking of anna the door was just ajar:one said:'poor old victor but where ignorance is bliss etcetera.'victor looked up at the sunset as he stood there all alone; cried:'areyou in heaven father ?' but the sky said'address not known.'victor looked up at the mountains the mountains all covered withsnow;cried:'are you pleased with me father ?' and the answer camebackno.victor came to the forest cried:'father will she ever betrue ?'and the oaks and the beeches shook their heads and theyanswered:' not to you.'victor came to the meadow where the wind wentsweeping by: cried:' o father i love her so' but the wind said:' shemust die.'victor came to the river running so deep and so still;crying:' o father what shall i do ?' and the river answered:' kill.'anna was sitting at table drawing cards from a pack;anna was sitting at table waiting for her husband to come back.victor stood in the doorway he didn't utter a word;she said:'what's the matter darling ?' he behaved as if he hadn'theard.there was a voice in his left ear there was a voice in therightthere was a voice at the base of his skull saying:'she must dietonight.'victor picked up a carving knife his features were set anddrawn said;'anna it would have been better for you if you had notbeen born.'anna jumped up from the table anna started to screambut victor cam slowly after her like a horror in a dream.she dodged behind the sofa she tore down a curtain rodbut victor came slowly after her said' prepare to meet thy god.'he stood there above the body he stood there holding the knife;and the blood ran down the stairs and sang; ' i am the resurrectionand the life.'they tapped victor on the shoulder they took him awayin a van;he sat as quiet as a lump of moss saying; ' i am the son ofman.'victor sat in a cornermaking a woman of clay.saying:' i am alpha and omega i shall cometo judge the earth one day.'
