The  More Loving  One⁣
⁣
Looking up at the stars, I know quite well⁣
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,⁣
But on earth indifference is the least⁣
We have to dread from man or beast.⁣
⁣
How should we like it were stars to burn⁣
With a passion for us we could not return?⁣
If equal affection cannot be,⁣
Let the more loving one be me.⁣
⁣
Admirer as I think I am⁣
Of stars that do not give a damn,⁣
I cannot, now I see them, say⁣
I missed one terribly all day.⁣
⁣
Were all stars to disappear or die,⁣
I should learn to look at an empty sky⁣
And feel its total dark sublime,⁣
Though this might take me a little time.⁣
 -W. H. Auden⁣
