Additional quotes by Wilfred Owen

O what made fatuous sunbeams toil
To break earth's sleep at all?

And Death fell with me, like a deepening moan.
And He, picking a manner of worm, which half had hid
Its bruises in the earth, but crawled no further,
Showed me its feet, the feet of many men,
And the fresh-severed head of it, my head.

There breasts were stuck all white with wreath and spray
As men's are, dead.

Then, when much blood had clogged their chariot-wheels, I would go up and wash them from sweet wells, Even with truths that lie too deep for taint. - Wilfred Owen
