Musee des Beaux Arts
By W. H. AudenSlide2
How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waitingFor the miraculous birth, there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating
On the pond at the edge of the wood
The Census or the Numbering at Bethlehem by Pieter BrueghelSlide3
That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its courseAnyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer’s horse
Scratches its innocent behind on a tree
The Massacre of the InnocentsBy Pieter BrueghelSlide4
…for instance; how everything turns away
Quite
leisurely from the disaster
The Fall of IcarusBy Pieter Brueghel
