Today we discuss W. H. Auden's poem \"September 1, 1939,\" by way of Georgi Gospodinov's award-winning novel Time Shelter, and Auden's message for uncertain and fearful times.
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.
