Dagens I rörelse är en favoritdikt av WH Auden, mest känd från filmen Fyra bröllop och en begravning:
Stop all the clocks
Cut off the telephone
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone
Silence the piano
and with muffled drums
get the coffin,
let the mourners come
Let the airplane circle,
scribbling in the sky the message:
‘He is dead’
Put great bows around the white necks of the public doves
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton glovesHe 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 wrongThe stars are not wanted now
Put out everyone
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun
Pour away the ocean
and sweep up the wood
For nothing now
can ever go to any good
Livet är kort.
