“Happiness, Like Goodness, Is Almost Impossible to Describe…”

Auden

“The difficulty for a writer…is that it seems to be a law of language that happiness, like goodness, is almost impossible to describe, while conflict, like evil, is all too easy to depict.”
– W. H. Auden, “Deborah” from Forewords and Afterwords
