When does Auden feel that suffering usually takes place

Answers

Suffering usually takes place when the people least expect it.

“About the suffering they were never wrong, the old masters: how well they understood its human position; how it takes place while someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along.”

In the excerpt of the poem Musee des Beaux Arts, W.H. Auden expresses that suffering happens while others are just going about their usual, normal day—apathetic and not expecting it to happen. The poem painted the people indifferent to the suffering of others and just continued on with their daily routine.

according to this excerpt, why is it important that the near intellectuals expose themselves to Bessie Smith, paul robeson, and other african american artists? excerpt from "the negro artist and thr racial mountain".

Answers

The near intellectuals in this work are the black writers or artists who don't embrace their ethnicity: the speaker argues that they have to expose themselves to the artists mentioned to learn not to be ashamed of their roots and to express them in their art.

In "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," Langston Hughes discusses how African American artists who want to become recognized often feel they will face added hardship and scrutiny because of their race. Therefore, they try to "pass" as white, denying themselves the exploration of their own voice. Hughes believes that if they were to be exposed to African American artists, they would be more likely to celebrate their identity instead of denying it.
