Politics

 

‘In our time the destiny of man presents its

meaning in political terms.’ – Thomas Mann

 

How can I, that girl standing there,

My attention fix

On Roman or on Russian

Or on Spanish politics?

Yet here’s a travelled man that knows

What he talks about,

And there’s a politician

That has read and thought,

And maybe wht they say is true

Of war and war’s alarms,

But O that I were young again

And held her in my arms!
