66. Dulce Et Decorum Est Wilfred Owen s great antiwar poem. Dulce Et Decorum Est, by Wilfred Owen (1893 -1918). Wilfred Owen. Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) http://www.liebreich.com/LDC/HTML/Various/Owen.html

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.

Wilfred Owen, one of approximately 9,000,000 millions fatalities in World War I, was killed in action on the Sambre Canal just seven days before the Armistice on November 4, 1918. He was caught in a German machine gun blast and killed. He was twenty-five years old. Teaching in continental Europe in 1915, Owen visited a hospital and became acquainted with many of the war's wounded. Deeply affected by these visits, the 22 year-old young Owen and he decided to enlist in the British Army. Owen described his decision to enlist in September, 1915: "I came out in order to help these boysdirectly by leading them as well as an officer can; indirectly, by watching their sufferings that I may speak of them as well as a pleader can. I have done the first." Owen was injured in March 1917 and sent home; he was fit for duty in August, 1918, and returned to the front where he was killed shortly afterwards. The bells were ringing on November 11, 1918, in Shrewsbury, England, to celebrate the Armistice when the doorbell rang at his parent's home, bringing them the telegram informing them their son was dead.

Arthur Graeme West Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) Wilfred Edward Salter Owen, the eldest of four children, was born in Oswestry, Shropshire, where his father was working as a railway clerk. The family soon had to move to Birkenhead, and Wilfred was educated at the independent Birkenhead Institute until 1907, when his father was appointed to a senior post in Shrewsbury. Wilfred took a four-year, free course as a pupil-teacher at the Shrewsbury Technical School, gaining not only a good grounding in French, English literature, the earth sciences and other subjects but also experience of teaching children from very poor homes. Studying Wordsworth and Keats made him long to be a poet, and he started writing verse. He qualified as an elementary school teacher, but career prospects were poor, so he decided to try for a London University external degree, passing the first stage, matriculation, in 1911. Needing time and space to prepare for more exams, he became a temporary assistant to the Vicar of Dunsden, near Reading. His mother had brought him up to be a pious Evangelical, but he lost his faith at Dunsden, returning home early in 1913 with a severe breakdown. Later that year he left home for good, becoming a teacher of English in Bordeaux. He shared the general view in 1914-15 that the war was in a just cause, and in autumn 1915 he returned to England to join the Artists' Rifles, a prestigious officer training unit. In June 1916 he became a second lieutenant in the Manchester Regiment.

Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) and his beloved Arthur Newboult, Edinburgh 1917. SWEET IS YOUR ANTIQUE BODY Sweet is you antique body, not yet young. Beauty withheld from youth that looks for youth. Fair only for your father. Dear among Masters in art. To all men else uncouth Save me; who knows your smile comes very old, Learnt of the happy dead that laughed with gods; For earlier suns than ours have lent you gold, Sly fauns and trees have given you jigs and nods. But soon your heart, hot-beating like a bird's, Shall slow down. Youth shall lop your hair, And you must learn wry meanings in our words. Your smile shall dull, because too keen aware; And when for hopes your hand shall be uncurled, Your eyes shall close, being opened to the world. Wilfred Owen Introduction Of the English poets killed in the futility of the First World War, Wilfred Owen has become the most admired. Of the so-called war poets, only Rosenberg equaled Owen's ability to transmute the experience of war into poetry. Owen was killed in action on November 4th, 1918, at twenty-five years of age, having published only four of his poems - all rather conventional in subject and style. Poems (1920) was published after Owen's death by his friend Siegfried Sasson, who had encouraged him to write more directly about his experience in the trenches while both were recovering from wounds in 1917. Owen's finest work was produced in the space of a year, during which he saw action almost daily. His last work, which includes "Dulce et Decorum Est," "Futility," and "Anthem for Doomed Youth," have effectively become national poems, taught in schools, colleges and universities.

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 gas-shells dropping softly 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 flound'ring like a man in fire or lime.

World War I saw the mechanization of weapons (heavy artillery, tanks), the use of poison gas, the long stalemate on the Western Front, and trench warfare, all of which resulted in the massive loss of human life. "We must remember not only that the battle casualties of World War I were many times greater than those of World War II, wiping out virtually a whole generation of young men and shattering so many illusions and ideals; but also that people were wholly unprepared for the horrors of modern trench warfare. World War I broke out on a largely innocent world, a world that still associated warfare with glorious cavalry charges and the noble pursuit of heroic ideals" (Norton Anthology of English Literature, Fifth Edition, 1891). A handful of poets, including Wilfred Owen, participated in the war, fought in the war, and some like Owen, died in the war. The poetry of these "war poets", as they are later termed, shows a first-hand account of the brutality and the devastation of war in a world which still believed that war was heroic and proud. Norton further tells us that

Hughes "Dulce Et Decorum Est" A poem by Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) As a writer of some good, some bad, and mostly mediocre poetry, I have often wondered what it is that makes a great poem great. I found myself disillusioned and mystified by the whole business. I could never compare to Yeats, whose words I once spray-painted on a wall because I loved them so. Nor would I be a Shakespeare; a creator of works in a definitive form, the sonnet. And there I was, stuck. I had no patience for formula and rigidity, as I saw it. I knew what expression was, and I would be damned if some academician (i.e. my esteemed colleague), would tell me my work was invalid because I did not follow formal rhythmic rules and proper meter. "Leave technicalities to the musicians", I cried. Which showed just how much I knew about poetry. Now I still believe that we need not be hampered by form. The talented poet writing opposite me once exposed me to the wonderful world of sestina. I have yet to compose a worthwhile example, but the challenge of creating in that strict of a format is rewarding. And very frustrating.

Unfinished Poems and Fragments Short Biography Wilfred Owen was born the 18th of March 1893 in Oswestry (United Kingdom). He was the eldest of four children and brought up in the Anglican religion of the evangelical school. For an evangelical, man is saved not by the good he does; but by the faith he has in the redeeming power of Christ's sacrifice. Though he had rejected much of his belief by 1913, the influence of his education remains visible in his poems and in their themes: sacrifice, Biblical language, his description of Hell. He moved to Bordeaux (France) in 1913, as a teacher of English in the Berlitz School of Languages; one year later he was a private teacher in a prosperous family in the Pyrenees. He enlisted in the Artists' Rifles on 21st October 1915; there followed 14 months of training in England. He was drafted to France in 1917, the worst war winter. His total war experience will be rather short: four months, from which only five weeks in the line. On this is based all his war poetry. After battle experience, thoroughly shocked by horrors of war, he went to Craiglockhart War Hospital near Edinburgh. In August 1918, after his friend, the other great War Poet, Siegfried Sassoon, had been severely injured and sent back to England, Owen returned to France. War was still as horrid as before. The butchery was ended on 11th November 1918 at 11 o'clock. Seven days before Owen had been killed in one of the last vain battles of this war.

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 that 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
