Frederick Louis MacNeice CBE (12 September 1907 – 3 September 1963) was an Irish poet and playwright.
 He was part of the generation of the Auden Group that included W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender and Cecil Day-Lewis.
 MacNeice's body of work was widely appreciated by the public during his lifetime, due in part to his relaxed, but socially and emotionally aware style.
 Never as overtly (or simplistically) political as some of his contemporaries, his work shows a humane opposition to totalitarianism as well as an acute awareness of his Irish roots.
Cecil Day-Lewis (or Day Lewis) (27 April 1904 – 22 May 1972), often writing as C. Day-Lewis, was an Anglo-Irish poet and the Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom from 1968 until his death in 1972.
 He also wrote mystery stories under the pseudonym of Nicholas Blake.
 He was the father of actor Daniel Day-Lewis and documentary filmmaker and television chef Tamasin Day-Lewis.
Prayer before birth is a poem written by the Irish poet Louis MacNeice (1907 - 1963) at the height of the Second World War.
 In the poem, Louis MacNeice expresses his fear at what the world's tyranny can do to the innocence of a child and blames the human race "for the sins that in me the world shall commit".
 The poem also contains many religious themes and overtones through the use of double-imagery; the child could be seen as a metaphor for Christ, making reference to certain themes and events said to have occurred during his ministry on earth.
The Sunlight on the Garden is a 24-line poem by Louis MacNeice.
 It was written in late 1936 and was entitled "Song" at its first appearance in print, in The Listener magazine, January 1937.
 It was first published in book form as the third poem in MacNeice's poetry collection The Earth Compels (1938).
 The poem explores themes of time and loss, along with anxiety about the darkening political situation in Europe following the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.
 It is one of the best known and most anthologized of MacNeice's short poems.
 George Macbeth describes it as "one of MacNeice's saddest and most beautiful lyrics".

The Auden Group or the Auden Generation is a group of British and Irish writers active in the 1930s that included W. H. Auden, Louis MacNeice, Cecil Day-Lewis, Stephen Spender, Christopher Isherwood, and sometimes Edward Upward and Rex Warner.
 They were sometimes called simply the Thirties poets (see "References").
John Frederick MacNeice (1866–1942), was born at Omey, Co.
 Galway, to a Protestant family which claimed descent from the kin of the early Irish saint MacNissi.
 Opting for the Church of Ireland ministry he served notably as rector of Carrickfergus, Co.
 Antrim and afterwards as bishop of Cashel, Emly, Waterford and Lismore (1931–1934) and until his death as bishop of Down, Connor and Dromore (1934–1942).
 MacNeice is well known for his symbolic opposition to the partition of Ireland (accepted as a political reality): hence his refusal to allow the Union Flag to be laid on Carson's grave at his funeral in St Anne’s Cathedral, Belfast in 1935.
 MacNeice was twice married.
 One of his sons by his first marriage was the poet, Louis MacNeice.
"Epilogue For W. H. Auden" is a 76-line poem by Louis MacNeice.
 It was written in late 1936 and was first published in book form in "Letters from Iceland", a travel book in prose and verse by W. H. Auden and Louis MacNeice (1937).
 MacNeice subsequently included it as the last poem in his poetry collection "The Earth Compels" (1938).
 "Epilogue For W. H. Auden" reviews the Iceland trip MacNeice and Auden had taken together in the summer of 1936; the poem mentions events that had occurred while MacNeice and Auden were in Iceland, such as the fall of Seville (marking the start of the Spanish Civil War) and the Olympic Games in Berlin.
Rugby Football Excursion is a 44-line poem by Louis MacNeice.
