Question for people that have read the poem "Musée des Beaux Arts "?
This poem deals with the "human position" of suffering -- how both horrible tragedies and pain-filled victories always happen while the rest of the world goes about with "dull," everyday, hum-drum activities. What "miraculous" birth" (line 6) do you think Auden is referring to in the poem? What "dreadful martyrdom" (line 10)?
