Auden's "Christmas Oratorio"


    This is only part of the actual work, but I remember seeing it in a {Philadelphia newspaper's Sunday magazine when I was in high school. At that time the poem was only 20-odd years old, and Auden was still alive. I was quite taken by the poem, and resolved to read more by Auden. I am glad that I did.
