In an essay about this poem, Joseph Brodsky claims that"you don’t dissect a bird to find the origins of its song." This poem imagines "helpless governors" waking up each morning to “resume their compulsory game” while "dense commuters" enter “into the ethical life.” This poet's author called it “trash” and edited the word “or” in this poem's most famous line to the more pessimistic “and.” The central figure of the (*) event that inspired this poem is called “a psychopathic god” created by a "huge imago," but reminds the public of "what all schoolchildren learn." Larry Kramer borrowed a line about "mad Nijinsky" from this poem for the title of his play The Normal Heart. For 10 points, name this poem which contains the declaration that “We must love one another or die,” a work by W. H. Auden. ■END■
