It must have been
about June 1975 that I was quoted to by a friend from W.H. Auden’s ‘A Certain
World’. Quotes were doing the rounds of the university college where the
literature students, a minority in that setting, temporarily led a life they
once imagined. The real world might be Law and Medicine, it was also Reading
and Writing. The pun speaks of a circumscribed world and a definite world, a
known world and a particular world, a reliable world and an assured
world. We undergraduates found the title corny, but the
pun speaks of each person’s individual condition.
