Greatly dissapointed at the removal of this poem. The "copyright excuse" is not going to stop other websites from featuring it (I already found another one!). This is such a beautifully written poem, even if one has to work a little harder to see in to its meaning (one being about time and how only our mistakes can be taught to us through time-no one else can truly tell us our mistakes). I agree that WH Auden would probably be turning in his grave too.

i was very upset that the poem was removed. no one can really own a poem and im sure it wasnt written for that purpose.

highly ambiguous in thought and theme. not ornamental, but well decorated in diction.
