#WilfredOwen WW1 #Poet on #old men sacrificing #young men:
(Abraham sacrifice of Isaac stopped by angel)
A ram, caught in a thicket by its horns;
"Offer the Ram of Pride instead of him"
But the old man would not so, but slew his son,
And half the seed of Europe, one by one.

Mehr als 100 Jahre alt und immer noch sehr berührend. Kaum zu glauben, dass Wilfred Owen und seine Gedichte in Deutschland kaum bekannt sind. Tolle zweisprachige Ausgabe. #WilfredOwen #DieErbärmlichkeitdesKrieges

My fav. WWI poet #WilfredOwen was incapacitated by a mortar explosion (today, he'd be diagnosed with PTSD). While recovering in hospital in 1917 he befriended #SiegfriedSassoon; unlike Sassoon, once declared fit he returned to the front. He died days before the end.

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? — Only the monstrous anger of the guns. Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle Can patter out their hasty orisons. No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells; Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,— The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells; And bugles calling for them from sad shires. What candles may be held to speed them all? Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes Shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes. 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.

Amid the utter nonsense of Federal sandwich man #Lairmore, we’re approaching the day on which we celebrate not only the genius and suffering of this man but also his tragic end. How has it come to this? #WilfredOwen

"Si tú también pudieras, en tus sueños,
caminar tras el carro adonde lo arrojamos
y ver cómo sus ojos se marchitan,
ver su rostro caído, como un demonio hastiado;
si pudieras oír con cada sacudida
cómo sale la sangre [...]"
Traducción de Gabriel Insausti.

Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes in Captain America The First Avenger. He is on the train, taking cover, out of bullets, and terrified.
Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs, And towards our distant rest began to trudge. 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 flound’ring like a man in fire or lime Dim through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams before my helpless sight He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin, If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, Bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,– 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.
Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen.
"The old lie: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" (it is sweet and proper to die for one's country).
Owen was killed in the closing days of WWI.

#SimonLeBon led me to #WilfredOwen, #MikhailBaryshnikov led me to #VladimirVysotsky and sadly, I too failed to hook up with either hottie.
Still appreciate the tips.

#ThePityOfWar 💔💔
The first known use of the phrase was by the poet #WilfredOwen in 1918, in the preface to his collected poems. It also appears in his poem "Strange Meeting", included in that volume (Wikipedia).
