  2. “Museedes Beaux Arts”W. H. Auden The Poem The Analysis • About suffering they were never wrong, The Old Masters: how well they understood Its human position; how it takes place While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along; (Lines 1-4) • The great European artists understood the way of life and the meaning of being created.

  4. “When you are old”W. B. Yeats The Poem The Analysis • How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; (Lines 5-8) • Many people loved your moments of kindness. • Everyone saw your beauty whether it was shown on the outside or not. • One man loved the innocent person in you and loved you even as you grew old.

  6. The unknown citizenW. H. Auden The Poem The Analysis • He was married and added five children to the population, Which our Eugenist says was the right number for a parent of his generation, And our teachers report that he never interfered with their education. Was he free? Was he happy? The question is absurd: Had anything been wrong, we should certainly have heard. • He was married and had five kids. • Which was the average amount of children for that time. • He was a good parent and wanted his kids to learn. • Although he seems perfect, was he happy, or free? If not they would have known.
