Jeremiah Lamenting the Destruction of Jerusalem, by Rembrandt
W. H. Auden

Talking to Myself

Time, we both know, will decay You, and already
I’m scared of our divorce: I’ve seen some horrid ones.
Remember: when Le bon Dieu says to You Leave him!,
Please, please, for His sake and mine, pay no attention
To my piteous Don’ts, but bugger off quickly.
