This incredible, interactive exploration of WH Auden’s poem Musée Des Beaux Arts presents an interesting opportunity to explore how perspective/context affects our views of all information. Using Auden’s poem and its inspiration, Pieter Bruegel’s painting Landscape With the Fall of Icarus, readers unpack the idea that “something’s only a disaster if we notice it.” We can’t help thinking about this in the context of world events and the media’s choice to amplify some while ignoring others.
