Johnson goes for W.H. Auden look, fails.
Auden: carven lived-in face, 'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe' eyes, confident mouth, regretful not to have done more but content to go.
Johnson: flaccid dried out face, fugitive eyes, anxious mouth, on the run but about to be found out.
'
Base words are uttered only by the base
And can for such at once be understood;
But noble platitudes - ah, there's a case
Where the most careful scrutiny is needed
To tell a voice that's genuinely good
From one that's base but merely has succeeded.'
