Auden’s Reading of Poem, “Friday’s Child.”

Posted on March 22, 2015 by pastorhh

Click this link and you will hear famous 20th century poet W.H. Auden read his composition on the life of Deitrich Bonhoeffer. Is Friday a reference to Good Friday? Or to the nursery rhyme: “…Friday’s child is loving and giving…?”

[Pastorhh wonders…Perhaps it’s both?]

To quote one analysis of the work: The poem leaves us to ponder the grounds for our moral judgments if we choose not to be grounded in Bonhoeffer’s Christianity.
