The third-to-last stanza of this work contrasts the "conservative dark" with the "ethical life" and describes commuters who vow each morning to be true to their wives and concentrate on their work. Another stanza describes night-fearing children "Who have never been happy or good" lost in the woods. The speaker claims that "accurate scholarship" can unearth "what happened at Linz," and this poem asserts that the "normal heart" craves what "mad Nijinsky wrote / about Diaghilev." The end of this poem describes the speaker as composed of "Eros and dust," and sees the speaker desire to "Show an affirming flame." For 10 points, name this poem set "in one of the dives / On Fifty- second street" that was later retracted for its over-obvious line "We must love one another or die" by its author, W.H. Auden.
