"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."
Memorizing poetry offers fun and mental challenges, providing aesthetic rewards. Over five days, participants will engage with W.H. Auden's poem, The More Loving One, through games and readings. The poem explores themes of love, disappointment, and the night sky. The first stanza presents a cynical view of the universe, while the second stanza shifts to personal reflections on love and unrequited feelings. This experience encourages participants to appreciate poetry and its emotional depth.
