Age of Anxiety -Auden

No chimpanzee

Thinks it thinks. All things are divisible,

Creatures are not. In chaos all bodies

Would differ in weight. Dogs can learn to

Fear the future. The faceless machine

Lacks a surround…. singular than

Is the human way; for the ego is a dream

Till the neighbor’s need by name create it;

Man has no mean; his mirrors distort;

His greenest arcadias have ghosts too;

His utopias tempt to eternal youth

Or self-slaughter.
