W. H. A'lJen
Auden Reads Poems, Describes
Types Of Poetry In Lecture
There's fun-filled confusion
when the campus empties
into cars, trains and planes
as Christmas holidays
begin. Heading for good
times? Pause for a Coke
and go refreshed.
By Jean Davenport
“People always treat poets as if
they were wise men,’’ said W. H.
Auden in his lecture last Friday
night in Memorial Hall. Auden, a
poet, critic, playwright and wit,
spoke at 8:30 p.m. about “The
Poet and His Poems.’’
The first part of his lecture con
cerned the poet in general. Later
Auden read five of his own poems,
reciting them in his British accent.
Auden began his lecture on a
witty note by reading descriptiofts
of poets quoted from the New
York Times. The one he firmly
believed to be true was that “a
poet had rather see a burgler in
his room than another poet.’’
With that introduction to him
self as a typical- poet, Auden began
by defining the two orders to
which man belongs, the natural
and the historical. Poetry, said
Auden, belongs to the natural
order.
Two types of poetry which
Auden discussed were the type
which uses only the personal ex
perience of the writer and the
type which implies the experiences
of both the writer and the reader.
The former, of course, cannot be
understood unless the reader has
had the same personal experiences
as the writer, and the latter can
have various interpretations.
“As for poets,” said Auden, “they
must have a certain amount of de
tachment.” He startled his audi
ence by saying that a poet feels
no deeper about things than any
one else; the difference is that he
is able to examine his feelings
critically and write about them.
Here Auden used Wordsworth’s
famous quotation that poetry is
“emotion recollected in tranquil
lity.” “For this reason,” said the
poet, “any girl should beware when
she receives poetry from a boy!”
As in his poetry, Auden used
unusual symbols in his lecture. He
compared the process of writing a
poem to the evolution of civiliza
tion. Before a poet begins, he is
like God; he can create anything.
He writes something down and
makes changes; he is like the pre
sident of a democratic society. In
its final stage a poem rules itself
completely like the perfect state, a
fictitious place.
A question .often asked of a poet
is whether a certain poem is good
or bad. Auden said that a poet
must use judgment toward all the
things that are "thrown at him.”
Another question tossed at poets,
he said, was whether or not a poet
is sincere. Auden declared that
people should never ask this ques
tion. He said that no poem can lie,
but that some are phonier than
others. The interest for Auden in
writing poetry lies in the struggle
that goes into it.
During the latter half of the
program, the poet read several of
his poems. “Atlantis”, “Waking
Up In The Morning”, “Mountains”,
“Woods” and “Education” com
posed his selections. With his deep
British accent, Auden created his
own atmosphere as he read or re
cited his poems with their shock
ing combinations of words. From
the wide selection, the audience
learned why he is called “the most
influential modern poet.”
Over a cup of coffee and cigar
ettes in a long black holder, Mr.
Auden talked informally with Eng
lish students in Miss Jess Byrd’s
apartment Friday afternoon. There
he allowed his wit full flow as he
talked of the differences in Eng
land and the United States.
He amused the group most of all
with tales of his British speech.
“They thought me daft”, he said,
“when I asked for a drawing pin.
J found out that I wanted a thumb
tack.”
Although several men were pre
sent as Mr. Auden talked, most of
the other guests were girls. In
spite of this, the poet expressed
his views about teaching both boys
and girls. “I would rather teach
all boys or all girls, not a mixed
group. Girls are afraid of speaking
up for fear they shall make fools
of themselves in front of the boys.”
In response to the question,
“Don’t you think you lose some
thing when you rewrite a poem?”
Mr. Auden emphasized the im
portance of rewriting. He quoted
the fact that “no poem is ever
finished. It is only abandoned.”
