poetry war poets
Rupert Brooke was one of the early poets in the war. He felt privileged like many to fight for their country. He died of illness in 1915 before having seen any action. He wrote in a romantic style of optimists towards war. He is remembered as a "war poet" who inspired patriotism in the early months of the Great War. He was good at poetry but had not seen the fear of the war. He would have been shocked to see what became of the war. His view towards war would have changed if he had.If I should die, think only this of me:That there's some corner of a foreign fieldThat is forever England. There shall beIn that rich earth a richer dust concealed;A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,A body of England's breathing English air,Washed by the rivers, blest by the suns of home.And think, this heart, all evil shed away,A pulse in the eternal mind, no lessGives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;He sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;And laughter learnt of friends: and gentleness,In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.He was proud that he was part of history of helping England, the country that had given him life
A church is holy and a sacred quiet place that has been destroyed and is in damage. Take up our quarrels with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high. " It is tragic but not pointless like Owen, he justifies the sacrifice. He hadn't and was never going to see the dreadfulness of the war. Someone placed a helmet on the Virgin Mary in aid of protecting her. He is saying that we must keep trying. Each image accurately triggers off its expected emotional response. If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders Fields. The symbols he uses are poppies and crosses, which are still seen today in Flanders Fields. His images have become part of the collective memory of war.
