W. H. Auden (pictured) once said that "the only way to spend New Year's Eve is either quietly with friends or in a brothel." Although the new plot is somewhat in keeping with the man's colorful life (with the opening line 'Stop all the clocks,') it's entirely in accordance with the man's vibrant life.

Auden's poem "Not so well known" was not so well known.
