The letter is A - Again
and it stands for W. H. Auden
The poet, Wystart Hugh Auden
Born in 1907 in York, England, to
George Augustus Auden and Constance Rosalie Bicknell Auden
British from birth, but American from 1946,
he was educated at Christ Church, Oxford.
After toying with atheism he returned to Christianity
and the Anglican Church
W.H. Auden died in 1973 in Vienna, Austria
he is a favourite.....
More 'As' as we start another round, here, at ABC Wednesdasy
with thank to Roger, Denise and Able helpers.

ADMIRABLE choice
ROG, ABCW
I do like W H Auden but 'Stop all the Clocks' does it for me
particularly when it was recited in the movie 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'...
