The End

Postscript to “The Sea and The Mirror” (W.H. Auden)

(Ariel to Caliban. Echo by the Prompter:)

... Never hope to say farewell,
For our lethargy is such
Heaven's kindness cannot touch
Nor earth's frankly brutal drum;
This was long ago decided,
Both of us know why,
Can, alas, foretell,
When our falsehoods are divided,
What we shall become,
One evaporating sigh

...I
