famous poems
I Cannot Grow by W H Auden
I cannot grow;
I have no shadow
To run away from,
I only play.
I cannot err;
There is no creature
Whom I belong to,
Whom I could wrong.
I am defeat
When it knows it
Can now do nothing
By suffering.
All you lived through,
Dancing because you
No longer needed it
For any deed.
I shall never be
Different. Love me.

No longer needed it

Pete, i trust this is in the right place :)
I like Auden's reluctance to be tied down.
