W. H. Auden Quote

The habit-forming pain,
Mismanagement and grief:
We must suffer them all again.

The habit-forming pain, Mismanagement and grief: We must suffer them all again.

The habit-forming pain, Mismanagement and grief: We must suffer them all again.

The habit-forming pain, Mismanagement and grief: We must suffer them all again.

The habit-forming pain, Mismanagement and grief: We must suffer them all again.
