Additional quotes by Wilfred Owen

Do they matter? — those dreams from the pit?...
You can drink and forget and be glad,
And people won’t say that you’re mad;
For they’ll know you’ve fought for your country
And no one will worry a bit.

All sounds have been as music to my listening

Now begin
Famines of thought and feeling.

"Through the dense din, I say, we heard him shout "I see your lights!" But ours had long died out." - Wilfred Owen
