WH Auden would've been happy with a verse like this
It’s hard to capture in a pic the size/energy of the crowd ready to march over the Syd Harbour Bridge but the station announcer at Wynyard:“don’t worry about tapping off, Transport NSW will work it out, gates are open, you’re heading for George St to the park, keep going, let’s free Palestine” 💕💕

![Howard was gay, a fact that comes up frequently in his later work.[9] He was out to some degree since at least the 1960s, when he remarked to friend W. H. Auden that he was offended by a fellow poet's use of Jewish and gay epithets, "since [he was] both these things", to which Auden replied, "My dear, I never knew you were Jewish!"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreih7kjvy74chfqoo5fg6vi3fpy3ndwwl4yzqn3jelnfxdjjb3xlpw4)
"One should not give a poisoner medicine,
A conjurer fine apparatus, nor
A rifle to a melancholic bore."

W.H. Auden, welcome to The War on Cars.
W.H. Auden, it turns out, truly hated internal combustion engine cars.

We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die."
