Poem
Can anyone either tell me the words to the poem that Morrie recites at his "living funeral" or at least the author and/or poem name.
Thanks
By W.H. Auden, the poem is entitled: "September 1, 1939". Here is the pertinent stanza:
All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.
