Title: A curious fact
Review: In this line-up of approving reviews I have very little to add except for one, rather curious observation. In my classes I could divide my students roughly in two groups: admirers of T.S.Eliot and such of Auden. The effect the two great poets have on their disciples though is very different. The imitators of Eliot by and large came across as complete mediocreties. Auden on the other hand produces a following with at least a modicum of competence. If you have your own poetic ambitions and you want to learn something read Auden! You may not like his stuff, but it is very instructive.
