Musee des Beaux Arts
" Musee des Beaux Arts " by W. H. Auden is one of the most interesting poems written in the 20th century. The poem builds up an imaginary scenery belonging to a modern place , a museum. The poem is divided into four stanzas, each one of them constitutes a vivid visual picture that readers can imagine or even draw on a paper. I think the best way to understand this poem is by imagining or drawing the pictures it provides in each stanza. The ruling or unifying idea of all the pictures is Man's suffering in this life.
