The quotations of
English poet and soldier
1893–1918
4 quotes, most often on War & Peace.
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.
What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
I mean the truth untold, The pity of war, the pity war distilled.
The pallor of girls’ brows shall be their pall; Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds, And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.
