The Newberry Library, in Chicago, has recently acquired a wonderful calligraphy piece by Carl Kurtz (Kansas City Art Institute) entitled "September 1, 1939", which uses critical lines of the poem to make a symbolic picture. As of this writing, the new acquisition is not yet catalogued, but it should be soon, and then will be available for the public to study. (7/15/06)

Christopher Hitchens' concluding seven-page chapter of his book _Why Orwell Matters_ beautifully reconstructs George Orwell's changing understanding of Auden's great poem "September 1, 1939. A good place to begin deeper research. Follow it up by reading pertinent parts of Orwell's essay "Inside the Whale."
