Note on Intellectuals by W.H. Auden

To the man-in-the-street, who, I'm sorry to say
Is a keen observer of life,
The word Intellectual suggests straight away
A man who's untrue to his wife.

Sadly, Phillip Johnnson's excellent book "Intellectuals" demonstrates that Auden's verse is not mere whimsey. So thankful for a king who *leads* us in the paths of righteouness.
