The way poetry was taught in school reminded W.H. Auden of a Punch cartoon composed, legend has it, by the poet A.E. Housman. Two English teachers are walking in the woods in springtime. The first, on hearing birdsong, is moved to quote William Wordsworth:
Teacher 1:
Oh, cuckoo, shall I call thee bird
Or but a wandering voice
Teacher 2:
State the alternative preferred
With reasons for you choice.

I need to get buttons made so that all the people on my team can be identified. When I do, you will get one VoE. Keep up the good fight. Thanks
