Telephone Conversation
The poem depicts an interaction between a Nigerian man searching for an apartment and a potential landlady. Through their telephone conversation, the landlady focuses solely on discussing the man's skin color rather than apartment details. The man responds with wit and subtle irony to highlight the absurdity of her racism. While appearing polite, the landlady is revealed to be shallowly judging the man based on his race alone. The man's intelligence shown through his vocabulary contrasts with the savage stereotype the landlady assumes based on his skin color.

W.H. Auden's poem "The Shield of Achilles" contrasts the idealized scenes depicted on the shield of Achilles in Homer's Iliad with the brutal realities of the modern world. When Achilles' mother Thetis asks the god Hephaestus to craft a new shield for her son, she envisions depictions of peace, rituals, and athletic games. However, Hephaestus instead covers the shield with disturbing images representing the meaningless violence and dehumanization of Auden's 20th century. The poem criticizes those who glorify war and reflects on how far the world has strayed from Homeric ideals of heroism.
