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.

Escape? There is one unwatched way: your eyes. O Beauty! Keep me good that secret gate.

The old Lie:Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

For by my glee might many men have laughed, And of my weeping may something have been left, Which must die now. - Wilfred Owen
