It meant something to me when I wrote it. But Auden was stronger when he wrote, Poetry makes nothing happen. . . . And I am hellbent on making something. Something that will bring the dead back, happen. . . . But still, Poetry makes nothing happen. Or whatever the Auden line is. Is stronger. . . . And this poem is weaker and weaker every time I read it. It has made nothing.
