THE MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS BY PIETER BRUEGEL THE YOUNGER(1564-1636) AS WRITTEN OF BY W. H. AUDEN I

Unlike Auden claims, an executioner's
horse doesn't actually scratch its behind
against a tree in a corner of the painting
yet many people claim that take's place
in the painting because Auden wrote so
- the power of the word over the image,
making the watcher see what isn't there.
