"Sob, heavy world Sob as you spin, Mantled in mist Remote from the happy"
- W. H. Auden

It is a reminder that the world is not constantly a happy location, which in some cases we can feel isolated and distant from delight. The images of the world spinning and being mantled in mist communicates a sense of despair and gloom. The repetition of the word "sob" emphasizes the sadness of the world, and the idea of being "remote from the delighted" even more highlights the sensation of being disconnected from joy. This quote works as a tip that the world can be a difficult place, and that it is necessary to require time to acknowledge and appreciate the minutes of joy and joy that we experience.
