This was a gift for my best friend, Fred. The excerpted poem in the center, written for a couple with whom Auden was close, is about maintaining friendship, practicing and speaking its language; it is very like Auden casually to make use of a rather obscure Renaissance word, “galimatias,” meaning “nonsense,” to illustrate his point. The excerpt from Auden's beautiful and poignant poem for his young male lover that frames this work is a lyrical wish for the well-being of someone who is loved, as well as an asking of forgiveness for human failings. The lettering is uncial/Celtic.
