READER: "This book is not about heroes. English Poetry is not yet fit to speak of them.
Nor is it about deeds, or lands, nor anything about glory, honour, might, majesty, dominion, or power, except War.

My subject is War, and the pity of War.
The Poetry is in the pity." [An excerpt from the preface of Wilfred Owen's Poems (1918)]
