18. Grateful, I slept till a morning that would not say
How much I believed the storm of yesterday
But quietly drew my attention to what had been done
—So many cubic metres the more in my cistern
Against a leonine summer—, putting first things first:
Thousands have lived without love, not one without water.
-First Things First
W. H. Auden
