Death is the sound of distant thunder at a picnic...

It's 100 years since your birth -- do you know where your centenary celebration is?

If you're WH Auden, then you don't. Very little has been done in Britain to prepare for the 100th anniversary of Auden's birth (coming up in February), which is potentially irksome given the fuss made over Betjeman's centenary this year. Let's hope the BBC at least plans to air Four Weddings and a Funeral.
