 (W.H. Auden) Victor was a little baby, into this
world he came: His father took him on his knee
and said:' Don't dishonour the family name.'
Victor looked up at his father- loked up with big
round eyes: His father said:' Victor, my only son,
don't you ever tell lies.' It was a frosty
December, it wsn't the season for fruits; His
father fell dead of heart disease while lacing up
his boots. It was a frosty December when into his
grave he sank; His uncle found Victor a post as a
cashier in the Midlands Counties bank. It was a
frosty December Victor was only eighteen. But his
figures were neat and his margins straight and his
cuffs were always clean. He took a room at the
Peveril, a respectableboarding-house: And Time
watched Victor day after day as a cat willwatch a
mouse. Victor went up to his bedroom, set the
alarm bell; Climbed into his bed, took his bible
and read of happend to Jezebel. It was the First
of April, Anna to the Peveril came; Her eyes, her
lips, her breasts, her hips and her smile set men
aflame. It was the Second of April, she was
wearing a coat of fur; Victor met her upon the
stairs and fell in love with her. The first time
he made his proposal, she laughed, said:' I'll
never wed': The second time there was a pause,
then she shook her head. Anna looked at the
mirror, pouted and gave a frown; Said;'Victor's
as dull as a wet afternoon but I've got to settle
down.' The third time hemade his proposal, as they
walked by the Reservoir, She gave him a kiss like
a blowon the head, said,'You are my heart's
desire.' They married early in August, she
said;'Kiss me, you funny boy': Victor took her in
his arms and said:'O my Helen of Troy.' The clerks
were talking of Anna, the door was just ajar: One
said:'Poor old Victor, but where ignorance is
bliss, etcetera.' Victor looked up at the sunset
as he stood there all alone; Cried:'Are you in
Heaven, Father ?', but the sky said'Address not
known.' Victor looked up at the mountains, the
mountains all covered with snow; Cried:'Are you
pleased with me, Father ?' and the answer came
back,No. Victor came to the forest,
cried:'Father, will she ever be true ?' And the
oaks and the beeches shook their heads and they
answered:' Not to you.' Victor came to the meadow
where the wind went sweeping by: Cried:' O Father,
I love her so,' but the wind said:' She must die.'
Victor came to the river running so deep and so
still; Crying:' O Father, what shall I do ?' and
the river answered:' Kill.' Anna was sitting at
table, drawing cards from a pack; Anna was
sitting at table waiting for her husband to come
back. Victor stood in the doorway, he didn't
utter a word; She said:'What's the matter,
darling ?' he behaved as if he hadn't heard.
There was a voice in his left ear, there was a
voice in the right, There was a voice at the base
of his skull saying:'She must die tonight.' Victor
picked up a carving knife, his features were set
and drawn, Said;'Anna, it would have been better
for you if you had not been born.' Anna jumped up
from the table, Anna started to scream, But Victor
cam slowly after her like a horror in a dream. She
dodged behind the sofa, she tore down a curtain
rod, But Victor came slowly after her, said'
Prepare to meet Thy God.' He stood there above
the body, he stood there holding the knife; And
the blood ran down the stairs and sang; ' I am
the Resurrection and the Life.' They tapped
Victor on the shoulder, they took him away in a
van; He sat as quiet as a lump of moss saying; '
I am the Son of Man.' Victor sat in a corner
Making a woman of clay. Saying:' I am Alpha and
Omega, I shall come To judge the earth one day.'
