WH Auden
Two quotations from WH Auden that might explain why I like his work so much.
"I was — and in most respects still am — mentally precocious, physically backward, short-sighted, a rabbit at all games, very untidy and grubby, a nail-biter, a physical coward, dishonest, sentimental, with no community sense whatever."
"Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh."
