"V de Vendetta" LYRICS
Desde el frío de mi celda vi cual era el camino
que alfombrado en sangre sería mí destino.
Estado vil que infunde el miedo en el alma
siente mi venganza (V de venganza) oh, oh, oh
Para iluminar a la humanidad
despojarla debo de vanidad
y de ella forjare mi arma con cultura y arte para que V sea inmortal.
Desde el calor de su celda ella verá que el camino
de mi sacrificio será su destino.
Estado vil que infunde el miedo en el alma
sembrar la esperanza (V de venganza) será mí venganza.
Y mostraré como un líder cruel
suplicará solo por él
más no he de tener piedad de aquel que hizo sufrir al pueblo sin su libertad
Estado vil que infunde el miedo en el alma
sembrar la esperanza (V de venganza) será mí venganza.
Este es tu fin las vías serán mi lanza
y el tren la balanza (V de venganza) para mi venganza, mía es la venganza
Y recordarán el día que un hombre cambió el sino
de la sociedad sin ser ni Dios ni divino.
Estado vil que infunde el miedo en el alma
sembrar la esperanza (V de venganza) será mí venganza.
Este es tu fin las vías serán mi lanza
y el tren la balanza (V de venganza) para mi venganza, V de venganza

Song Lyrics:
Confutatis maledictis
flammis acribus addictis
When the sun is flustered
and the moon is free
The great little master
Writtes a little melody
the notes fever's in my breast
aches to be away
Eternal wisdom
in glorious kingdom
that is my sole wish
[Bridge:]
the first violin lead me while the harps
embrace me like the blood
the madness beats my art
In the stage my baton cuts the air
I am
in a world i never made, a man
[Chorus:]
Dies Irae, Dies Illa
Solvent saeclum in favilla
Teste David cum sibilla
quantus tremor est futurus
quanto judex est venturus
cuncta stricte discussurus
The sound is aroun
long live to the king
never falling down
Rex gloria; Rex gloria
witness of the time
spirit is sublime
no more feels of pain no more hate
a revenge is going away
Where is my destiny?
Where is my fantasy?
I need to free my soul and cry
someone to pray for me
I need to free my soul and will die
there wells up the only tear
we shed without woe
and ride like the wind because
the music is enthralled
the note's fever in my breast
aches to be away
Eternal wisdom
in glorious kingdom
that is my sole wish
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
the soft slep to your bed
is not worth pursuing
you will so soon be dead
death will serve instead
turns to the thing
he was born to be
a master to the king
keep your fancy free
in the deep of the sea
Salva me, fons pietatis
[Bridge]
[Chorus]

Political Poems: W.H. Auden's 'Spain 1937'
In their second episode, Mark and Seamus look at W.H. Auden's, ‘Spain’. Auden travelled to Spain in January 1937 to support the Republican efforts in the civil war, and composed the poem shortly after his return a few months later to raise money for Medical Aid for Spain. It became a rallying cry in the fight against fascism, but was also heavily criticised, not least by George Orwell, for the phrase (in its first version) of ‘necessary murder’. Mark and Seamus discuss the poem’s Marxist presentation of history, its distinctly non-Marxist language, and why Auden ultimately condemned it as ‘a lie’.
Mark Ford is Professor of English at University College, London, and Seamus Perry is Professor of English Literature at Balliol College, Oxford.

The Spanish Civil War & Literature: Orwell, Auden, Eliot and Hemingway
In this video, I look at how the Spanish Civil War shaped the literature of the modernist movement. George Orwell and Ernest Hemingway both visited Spain during the war, and T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden asked questions about a poet's duty in the modern world.

22. W. H. Auden
Modern Poetry (ENGL 310) with Langdon Hammer
This lecture presents the early poetry of W.H. Auden. In "From the Very First Coming Down," Auden's relationship to the reader is considered, as well as the role of economy, truth, and morality in his poetics. The political Auden is examined in "Spain" and "September 1, 1939," along with his later practice of revising controversial poems. Finally, his interest in traditional forms, his vision of love, and his characteristic perspectivism, are explored in "This Lunar Beauty" and "As I Walked Out One Evening."

Poetry: September 1, 1939 by W. H. Auden ‖ Michael Sheen
"September 1, 1939" by W. H. Auden
I sit in one of the dives
On Fifty-second Street
Uncertain and afraid
As the clever hopes expire
Of a low dishonest decade:
Waves of anger and fear
Circulate over the bright
And darkened lands of the earth,
Obsessing our private lives;
The unmentionable odour of death
Offends the September night.
Accurate scholarship can
Unearth the whole offence
From Luther until now
That has driven a culture mad,
Find what occurred at Linz,
What huge imago made
A psychopathic god:
I and the public know
What all schoolchildren learn,
Those to whom evil is done
Do evil in return.
Exiled Thucydides knew
All that a speech can say
About Democracy,
And what dictators do,
The elderly rubbish they talk
To an apathetic grave;
Analysed all in his book,
The enlightenment driven...

"1st September 1939" by W.H. Auden (read by Tom O'Bedlam)
On this day Hitler invaded Poland and WWII broke out. Thucydides was an honest historian, the originator of Political Realism which observes that the relationship between countries is based on strength and not which is in the right. His work is still studied in military academies.

"Funeral Blues" by W.H. Auden
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now; put out every...

If I Could Tell You by W.H. Auden
Music: Jóhann Jóhannsson - Flight From The City
Speaker: Tom O' Bedlam (SpokenVerse)
Full poem:
Time will say nothing but I told you so,
Time only knows the price we have to pay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.
If we should weep when clowns put on their show,
If we should stumble when musicians play,
Time will say nothing but I told you so.
There are no fortunes to be told, although,
Because I love you more than I can say,
If I could tell you I would let you know.
The winds must come from somewhere when they blow,
There must be reasons why the leaves decay;
Time will say nothing but I told you so.
Perhaps the roses really want to grow,
The vision seriously intends to stay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.
Suppose all the lions get up and go,

The Fall of Rome | W. H. Auden | Famous Poems| Greatest 20th Century Poetry
Written in 1947, 'The Fall of Rome' is in many the opinion of many distinguished literary critics, W. H. Auden's finest work. The poem's theme is that mighty empires and civilisations, do not last forever but are doomed to collapse eventually. This poem uses imagery, anachronism, and Rome itself as a symbol to drive home the theme. It is important to note that this poem was written at a time when change was rampant in the world. The second World War had ended not two years ago and India had gained Independence from British rule. The 'jewel in the crown' had been lost and the heydays days of the British Empire had ended. Its total collapse was now imminent. Auden alludes to the fact that the ills that brought about the demise of the colossus that the Roman Empire was were social ills that w...

"September 1, 1939" by W. H. Auden
I sit in one of the dives
On Fifty-second Street
Uncertain and afraid
As the clever hopes expire
Of a low dishonest decade:
Waves of anger and fear
Circulate over the bright
And darkened lands of the earth,
Obsessing our private lives;
The unmentionable odour of death
Offends the September night.
Accurate scholarship can
Unearth the whole offence
From Luther until now
That has driven a culture mad,
Find what occurred at Linz,
What huge imago made
A psychopathic god:
I and the public know
What all schoolchildren learn,
Those to whom evil is done
Do evil in return.
Exiled Thucydides knew
All that a speech can say
About Democracy,
And what dictators do,
The elderly rubbish they talk
To an apathetic grave;
Analysed all in his book,
The enlightenment driven away,
The habit-forming pain,
Mismanagement and grief:
We must suffer them all again.
Into this neutral air
Where blind skyscrapers use
Their full height to proclaim
The strength of Collective Man,
Each language pours its vain
Competitive excuse:
But who can live for long
In an euphoric dream;
Out of the mirror they stare,
Imperialism's face
And the international wrong.
Faces along the bar
Cling to their average day:
The lights must never go out,
The music must always play,
All the conventions conspire
To make this fort assume
The furniture of home;
Lest we should see where we are,
Lost in a haunted wood,
Children afraid of the night
Who have never been happy or good.
The windiest militant trash
Important Persons shout
Is not so crude as our wish:
What mad Nijinsky wrote
About Diaghilev
Is true of the normal heart;
For the error bred in the bone
Of each woman and each man
Craves what it cannot have,
Not universal love
But to be loved alone.
From the conservative dark
Into the ethical life
The dense commuters come,
Repeating their morning vow;
"I will be true to the wife,
I'll concentrate more on my work,"
And helpless governors wake
To resume their compulsory game:
Who can release them now,
Who can reach the deaf,
Who can speak for the dumb?
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.
Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

"September 1, 1939" by W. H. Auden
I sit in one of the dives
On Fifty-second Street
Uncertain and afraid
As the clever hopes expire
Of a low dishonest decade:
Waves of anger and fear
Circulate over the bright
And darkened lands of the earth,
Obsessing our private lives;
The unmentionable odour of death
Offends the September night.
Accurate scholarship can
Unearth the whole offence
From Luther until now
That has driven a culture mad,
Find what occurred at Linz,
What huge imago made
A psychopathic god:
I and the public know
What all schoolchildren learn,
Those to whom evil is done
Do evil in return.
Exiled Thucydides knew
All that a speech can say
About Democracy,
And what dictators do,
The elderly rubbish they talk
To an apathetic grave;
Analysed all in his book,
The enlightenment driven away,
The habit-forming pain,
Mismanagement and grief:
We must suffer them all again.
Into this neutral air
Where blind skyscrapers use
Their full height to proclaim
The strength of Collective Man,
Each language pours its vain
Competitive excuse:
But who can live for long
In an euphoric dream;
Out of the mirror they stare,
Imperialism's face
And the international wrong.
Faces along the bar
Cling to their average day:
The lights must never go out,
The music must always play,
All the conventions conspire
To make this fort assume
The furniture of home;
Lest we should see where we are,
Lost in a haunted wood,
Children afraid of the night
Who have never been happy or good.
The windiest militant trash
Important Persons shout
Is not so crude as our wish:
What mad Nijinsky wrote
About Diaghilev
Is true of the normal heart;
For the error bred in the bone
Of each woman and each man
Craves what it cannot have,
Not universal love
But to be loved alone.
From the conservative dark
Into the ethical life
The dense commuters come,
Repeating their morning vow;
"I will be true to the wife,
I'll concentrate more on my work,"
And helpless governors wake
To resume their compulsory game:
Who can release them now,
Who can reach the deaf,
Who can speak for the dumb?
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.
Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

"Funeral Blues" by W.H. Auden
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Music: Jóhann Jóhannsson - Flight From The City
Speaker: Tom O' Bedlam (SpokenVerse)
Full poem:
Time will say nothing but I told you so,
Time only knows the price we have to pay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.
If we should weep when clowns put on their show,
If we should stumble when musicians play,
Time will say nothing but I told you so.
There are no fortunes to be told, although,
Because I love you more than I can say,
If I could tell you I would let you know.
The winds must come from somewhere when they blow,
There must be reasons why the leaves decay;
Time will say nothing but I told you so.
Perhaps the roses really want to grow,
The vision seriously intends to stay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.
Suppose all the lions get up and go,
And all the brooks and soldiers run away;
Will time say nothing but I told you so?
If I could tell you I would let you know.

Written in 1947, 'The Fall of Rome' is in many the opinion of many distinguished literary critics, W. H. Auden's finest work. The poem's theme is that mighty empires and civilisations, do not last forever but are doomed to collapse eventually. This poem uses imagery, anachronism, and Rome itself as a symbol to drive home the theme. It is important to note that this poem was written at a time when change was rampant in the world. The second World War had ended not two years ago and India had gained Independence from British rule. The 'jewel in the crown' had been lost and the heydays days of the British Empire had ended. Its total collapse was now imminent. Auden alludes to the fact that the ills that brought about the demise of the colossus that the Roman Empire was were social ills that would be responsible for the annihilation of other empires too regardless of their size or expanse. Those entrusted with perpetuating the empires despite their unquestionable intellect are rather impractical and display apathy and a lack of understanding and foresight. Socio-economic inequality and inequity are rife and go unchecked. Financial decrepitude permeates society and further expedites the collapse of the behemoth. Irreversible damage sets in as a consequence of all of these. Also, there are natural elements that mankind has little control over. His structures are at the mercy of nature. These too are the bane of empires and civilisations. History, Auden asserts repeats itself.
full poem:
The piers are pummelled by the waves;
In a lonely field the rain
Lashes an abandoned train;
Outlaws fill the mountain caves.
Fantastic grow the evening gowns;
Agents of the Fisc pursue
Absconding tax-defaulters through
The sewers of provincial towns.
Private rites of magic send
The temple prostitutes to sleep;
All the literati keep
An imaginary friend.
Cerebrotonic Cato may
Extol the Ancient Disciplines,
But the muscle-bound Marines
Mutiny for food and pay.
Caesar's double-bed is warm
As an unimportant clerk
Writes I DO NOT LIKE MY WORK
On a pink official form.
Unendowed with wealth or pity,
Little birds with scarlet legs,
Sitting on their speckled eggs,
Eye each flu-infected city.
Altogether elsewhere, vast
Herds of reindeer move across
Miles and miles of golden moss,
Silently and very fast.
