Michael, you weren't familiar with the MacNeice poem. One of the GREAT poems of the twentieth century. Anyone else not familiar with it? Get familiar. At once. Look at this.
The glass is falling every day.
The glass will fall for ever.
But if you break the bloody glass
You won't hold up the weather.
The glass is a barometer if you didn't know. What a quatrain! And the thers are just as good. Genius! Sheer genius! Did Auden himself ever write better?
