The title is taken from a passage in
W. H. Auden's poem, "
September 1, 1939": :
Accurate scholarship can :
Unearth the whole offence :
From Luther until now :
That has driven a culture mad, :
Find what occurred at Linz, :
What huge imago made :
A psychopathic God: :
I and the public know :
What all schoolchildren learn, :
Those to whom evil is done :
Do evil in return. The title of Auden's poem refers to the date that Hitler's tanks rolled into Poland. This date is generally acknowledged as the beginning of
World War II. ==See also==
