Owen, Wilfred (1893-1918) Strange Meeting It seemed that out of battle I escaped Down some profound dull tunnel, long since scooped Through granites which titanic wars had groined. Yet also there encumbered sleepers groaned, Too fast in thought or death to be bestirred. Then, as I probed them, one sprang up, and stared With piteous recognition in fixed eyes, Lifting distressful hands as if to bless. And by his smile I knew that sullen hall, By his dead smile I knew we stood in Hell. With a thousand pains that vision's face was grained; Yet no blood reached there from the upper ground, And no guns thumped, or down the flues made moan. 'Strange friend,' I said, 'here is no cause to mourn.' 'None,' said the other, 'save the undone years, The hopelessness. Whatever hope is yours, Was my life also; I went hunting wild After the wildest beauty in the world, Which lies not calm in eyes, or braided hair, But mocks the steady running of the hour, And if it grieves, grieves richlier than here.

O love, your eyes lose lure When I behold eyes blinded in my stead! Your slender attitude Trembles not exquisite like limbs knife-skewed, Rolling and rolling there Where God seems not to care; Till the fierce Love they bear Cramps tham in death's extreme decrepitude. Your voice sings not so soft,- Though even as wind murmuring through raftered loft,- Your dear voice is not dear, Gentle, and evening clear, As theirs whom none now hear, Now earth has stopped their piteous mouths that coughed. Heart, you were never hot, Nor large, nor full like hearts made great with shot; And though your hand be pale, Paler are all which trail Your cross through flame and hail: Weep, you may weep, for you may touch them not.

Add to a Notebook Wilfred Owen Wilfred Owen was born in 1893 in Shropshire, England. Educated at the Birkenhead Institute and the Technical School in Shrewsbury in his childhood, Owen failed to gain entrance to the University of London, but spent a year as a lay assistant to Reverend Herbert Wigan in 1911 and went on to teach in France at the Berlitz School of English. In 1915 Owen enlisted in the Artists' Rifles group in support of World War I, and after training in England, was commissioned as a second lieutenant. Owen was wounded in combat in 1917 and evacuated to Craiglockhart War Hospital near Edinburgh after being diagnosed with shell shock. There he met Siegfried Sassoon, who served as a mentor and introduced him to well-known literary figures like Robert Graves and H.G. Wells, and wrote many of his most important poems, including "Anthem for Doomed Youth" and "Dulce et Decorum Est". Owen's poetry often graphically illustrated the physical landscapes which surrounded him and the human body in relation to those landscapes. Owen rejoined his regiment in June 1918 and was killed on November 4 of that year. The news reached his parents on November 11, the day of the Armistice. Owen's Collected Poems appeared in December 1920, with an introduction by Sassoon, and he has become one of the most admired poets of World War I.

WILFRED OWEN Arms and the Boy Exposure Futility Spring Offensive Arms and the Boy Let the boy try along this bayonet-blade How cold steel is, and keen with hunger of blood; Blue with all malice, like a madman's flash; And thinly drawn with famishing for flesh. Lend him to stroke these blind, blunt bullet-heads Which long to muzzle in the hearts of lads. Or give him cartridges of fine zinc teeth, Sharp with the sharpness of grief and death. For his teeth seem for laughing round an apple. There lurk no claws behind his fingers supple; And God will grow no talons at his heels, Nor antlers through the thickness of his curls. Exposure I Our brains ache, in the merciless iced east winds that knife us ... Wearied we keep awake because the night is silent ... Low drooping flares confuse our memory of the salient ... Worried by silence, sentries whisper, curious, nervous, But nothing happens. Watching, we hear the mad gusts tugging on the wire. Like twitching agonies of men among its brambles. Northward incessantly, the flickering gunnery rumbles, Far off, like a dull rumour of some other war.

Nor is it about deeds, or lands, nor anything about glory, honour, might, majesty, dominion, or power, except war. Above all I am not concerned with Poetry. My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity. Yet these elegies are to this generation in no sense consolatory. They may be to the next. All a poet can do today is warn.

Dulce Et Decorum Est, by Wilfred Owen (1893 - 1918) Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) "Dulce et Decorum Est - pro patria mori" Wilfred Owen's famous poem is based on a quotation from the Latin poet Horace (Odes, iii ii 13), meaning 'It is sweet and proper to die for one's country'. Owen, one of the leading First World War poets, was killed one week before the WWI ended. Dulce Et Decorum Est is his most famous poem and one of the most searing war poems ever written. Dulce Et Decorum Est brings home at an individual level the horror and barbarity of what happens during war. It also hightlights twin gulfs - between those who risk horrible death at the front and those who don't, and between the pursuance of diplomacy and the stark barbarity of armed conflict. It was the experiences of gas attacks in the First World War that led to the designation of gas as an prohibited weapon under the Gas Protocol of the Geneva Conventions in 1925. Winston Churchill is believed to have considered using gas against Germany, despite the ban, though he never gave the order to do so. Had Wilfred Owen survived into the 1980s he would would have been shocked to learn of the use of gas by Saddam Hussain not only against Iranian troops in the Iran-Iraq war (with the tacit sanction of his Western supporters), but also (this time without sanction) against his own civilian population at Halabja.

Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind. Gas! GAS! Quick, boys! - An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And floundering like a man in fire or lime - Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light

Wilfred Owen Wilfred Owen was born in Oswestry, Shropshire and was educated at Birkenhead Institute and a technical college in Shrewsbury. Probably influenced by his deeply religious mother, he went on to work as a lay assistant to the vicar of Dunsden in 1913 and later that year left England to teach English in France. In 1915, he enlisted in the Artists' Rifles and served at the Somme that winter. Suffering from shell shock, he was sent to Craiglochhart Hospital, Edinburgh where he met and was encouraged by Siegfried Sassoon. Most of his best poetry was written and polished during his convalescence there. He returned to the front, having spurned the offer of a home-based training position, and was killed one week before the end of the war at the age of twenty-five, after having been awarded the Military Cross the previous month. His poetry, exemplified by Anthem for Doomed Youth , encapulates the futility and horror of war and his very name symbolises the sacrifice of innocence to its cause.
