A nondescript express in from the South,

Crowds round the ticket barrier, A face

To welcome which the mayor has not contrived

Bugles or braid: Something about the face

Distracts the stray look with alarm and pity.

Snow is falling. Clutching a little case,

He walks out briskly to infect a city

Whose terrible future may have just arrived.

WH Auden
