Anthony Powell's stanza on Auden and Issyvoo

A literary (or left wing) erstwhile well-wisher would
Seek vainly now for Auden or for Isherwood.
The Dog-beneath-the skin has had the brains
To save it, Norris-like, by changing trains.

no Parnsip and Pimpernell for you! and yet...will you be pulling out
the poet's tongue on Feb. 21? There might be some beer or something.
Or do you and Tom and Nigee still do that sort of thing?
