Page Back Poetry Index The Dead a poem by Rupert Brooke The Dead Rupert Brooke Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead! There's none of these so lonely and poor of old, But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold. These laid the world away; poured out the red Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to be Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene, That men call age; and those who would have been, Their sons, they gave, their immortality. Blow, bugles, blow! They brought us, for our dearth, Holiness, lacked so long, and Love, and Pain, Honour has come back, as a king, to earth, And paid his subjects with a royal wage; And Nobleness walks in our ways again; And we have come into our heritage. IV. THE DEAD These hearts were woven of human joys and cares, Washed marvellously with sorrow, swift to mirth. The years had given them kindness. Dawn was theirs, And sunset, and the colours of the earth. These had seen movement, and heard music; known Slumber and waking; loved; gone proudly friended; Felt the quick stir of wonder; sat alone; Touched flowers and furs and cheeks. All this is ended.

A Reader from India Thursday, August 2, 2007 Remembering Rupert Brooke I always endeavour to be as mad as possible in this sane grey world; and I shall not insult you by calling you sane. - Rupert Brooke (Quoted from his letter to James Strachey) Aug 3 is the 120th birth anniversary of Rupert Brooke - A poet whose words shine with youth, life and beauty.

Main Page Dates Places People and Events Rupert Brooke The most famous of the British “war poets” rising to prominence during the First World War, Rupert Brooke combined literary talent with legendary good looks. That he died as a young soldier at the height of his beauty and popularity assured his fame in a way that his poetry alone could not. By the time he was graduated from Cambridge he had earned the sobriquet of “the Handsomest Man in England”, and it is difficult now to disentangle his literary merit from his dazzling celebrity. While an undergraduate he attracted the amorous attentions of both men and women, but it was not until 1909, at the age of twenty-two, that he had his first sexual encounter. It was with a man. He described his seduction of Denham Russell-Smith (a former fellow student at Rugby) in some detail. (“My right hand got hold of the left half of his bottom, clutched it, and pressed his body into me. The smell of sweat began to be noticeable. At length we took to rolling to and fro over each other, in the excitement.”) James Strachey, brother of Lytton Strachey of the Bloomsbury Group, fell deeply in love with Brooke, and while the poet did not return the intensity of feeling, he did hold Strachey in high regard. The two men exchanged correspondence for the last decade of Brooke’s life. While on a trip to America in 1913, Brooke made a brief visit to Berkeley, staying at the Carleton Hotel on the corner of Telegraph and Durant. He wrote to Strachey from the hotel:

59. Rupert Brooke's Obituary In The Times rupert brooke died on April 23 (coincidentally, the traditional observance of St. George s Day, and the birthday of Shakespeare), 1915. On Monday, April 26, http://net.lib.byu.edu/english/WWI/poets/rbobituary.html

Rupert Brooke's Obituary in The Times Rupert Brooke died on April 23 (coincidentally, the traditional observance of St. George's Day, and the birthday of Shakespeare), 1915. On Monday, April 26, 1915, his obituary appeared in The Times : "Death of Mr. Rupert Brooke. Sustroke at Lemnos. We regret to record the death, on April 23, Lemnos, from the effects of sunstroke, of Rupert Brooke, the poet, a sub-lieutenant in the Royal Naval Division." The obituary continues: "W.S.C." writes: "Rupert Brooke is dead . . . [his] life has closed at the moment when it seemed to have reached its springtime." W.S.C. was, of course, Winston Spencer Churchill. Churchill's portion of the obituary (a eulogy) takes up a little less than half of the total, and is sandwiched between the copy writer's general announcement and later biographical sketch of Brooke (the "copy writer" was probably Edward Marsh, the editor of Georgian Poetry , a close friend of Brooke's, and soon to become his literary exucutor). Although, on the surface, the Churchill obituary is a tribute to a promising young poet, it's impossible not to sense in the eulogy an underlying political agenda especially when considered in the historical context of the Dardenelles campaign which Churchill had helped to conceive and to which he had sent Brooke as part of his own Royal Naval Division (RND). The obituary of Rupert Brooke written by Winston Churchill follows: Rupert Brooke is dead. A telegram from the Admiral at Lemnos tells us that this life has closed at the moment when it seemed to have reached its springtime. A voice had become audible, a note had been struck, more true, more thrilling, more able to do justice to the nobility of our youth in arms engaged in this present war, than any other more able to express their thoughts of self-surrender, and with a power to carry comfort to those who watch them so intently from afar. The voice has been swiftly stilled. Only the echoes and the memory remain; but they will linger.

Rupert Brooke The Old Vicarage, Grantchester Café des Westens, Berlin, May 1912 Just now the lilac is in bloom, All before my little room; And in my flower-beds, I think, Smile the carnation and the pink; And down the borders, well I know, The poppy and the pansy blow . . . Oh! there the chestnuts, summer through, Beside the river make for you A tunnel of green gloom, and sleep Deeply above; and green and deep The stream mysterious glides beneath, Green as a dream and deep as death. Oh, damn! I know it! and I know How the May fields all golden show, And when the day is young and sweet, Gild gloriously the bare feet That run to bathe . . . Du lieber Gott! Here am I, sweating, sick, and hot, And there the shadowed waters fresh Lean up to embrace the naked flesh. Temperamentvoll German Jews Drink beer around; - and there the dews Are soft beneath a morn of gold. Here tulips bloom as they are told; Unkempt about those hedges blows An English unofficial rose; And there the unregulated sun Slopes down to rest when day is done, And wakes a vague unpunctual star
