“Acts of injustice done
Between the setting and the rising sun
In history lie like bones, each one.”
The Ascent of F6, written with Christopher Isherwood, Act II, Scene V; quoted by Richard Adams in his novel Watership Down. (1936)
“Let us honour if we can
The vertical man
Though we value none
But the horizontal one.”
Dedication to Christopher Isherwood, Poems (1930)
“Music is the best means we have of digesting time.”
A quotation from Igor Stravinsky, not Auden. Cited as Auden's through a misreading of a paragraph in Stravinsky: Chronicle of a Friendship, by Robert Craft (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1972), p. 6. (The antecedent of "he" is unmistakably "Mr. S." in Craft's sentence: "He also makes a marvelous remark to the effect that 'Music is the best means we have of digesting time'"; and in the sentence that follows "he" is again Stravinsky, not Auden.)
