Auden
About suffering they always clear,
these classical painter: how much they knew it in
the status of the hearts of the people, know the pain will produce,
when people eat in the window, or are being used for the silly walks time;
know when passionately, reverently waiting for the elderly
when the miraculous birth, there is always some children
do not particularly want him to appear, but the
slide with ice on a pond woods edge.
They never forget:
Even after all the tragic martyrdom will also end
in a corner, messy place,
where dogs continue to live a dog's life, and the persecution of the horse
to a tree ignorance hips friction.
In Bruegel’s "Icarus", for example;
how easily everything turned away from the disaster: the
farmer may have heard the sound of falling water and the cry of despair,
but for him, it was not not a failure;
the sun is still shining white legs down into the green waves;
it luxurious and sophisticated ship must have seen
a strange thing, a boy falling from the sky,
but it has to go somewhere, still quietly sailing .
