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.

Exactly, and it's not like removing his poems from this site would keep them off the numerous other sites they are featured upon.

This poem had to be removed at the request of the publishing house who "owns" it, apparently.
I'm sure Auden would lurch in his grave.
How simply delightful that the drive to make money should supercede the sharing of simple words (insert sarcasm here).
