Abstract
Intertwined in the life-world of the poetry of W. H. Auden is a world of landscape, a geographical landscape that is physical, a world of hills and limestone where beasts roam and where winds blow. It is likewise a landscape with a human dimension where one can hear the murmur of underground streams, and where one can wander through a million vistas of thought. But moreover, it is a world of landscape that invites the reader to possibility.
