Dulce Et Decorum Est - Powerful Poems of WWI

[@rengoku9029]

Heavy. Sorrow. Timeless. Relatable. Humbling. These poems are full of these words. The speakers feel like a median to the original poets when the pieces were written. Excellent work as always my friend.

[@sleepyspartan1367]

Too true, too true. The sad thing is, we the listener only get a fraction of what these poor poets felt

Thank you Wilfred Owen for your words, your story. The words are deep & the reason everyone should be taught Latin Relevant. Why did schools stop teaching Latin? Be inspired and seek history and the language of Latin or be misguided; seek the truth. Philosophy is a beautiful guide to show you truth and justice. There is "whatever" fed and then, there is a great guide.

Much appreciated

[@thebestofrealmroyale7576]

Do you think these people ever thought that these poems would be heard by people 100 years later? Amazing to see that they indeed are still alive through their art.

[@ciaoamerica71]

My grandmother spoke of the horrors of WWI, she was born in a small town in Ireland and emigrated to England before the second World War. She never forgot seeing the young men who came back from WWI and what it had done to them. Then she got to live through WWII in England!! She is still alive today over 100 years old.

[@Wooster23]

and in between she lived through the Great Depression. They were built different back then! Godspeed friend

[@michaelakuto6186]

Owen's Dulce et Decorum Est still remains my all time war poem.

[@CB-ob5vh]

I'm Canadian, so it used to be " in Flanders fields" but dulce et decorum takes it, gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it.

[@kylebrogmus8847]

Indeed, and truly one of the greatest poems ever penned. It holds an even heavier weight since Owen fell with his brothers.

[@MrDUCKMAN5555]

Just a nice little quote to share : "When the soldier goes to heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell. Another marine reporting sir, ive served my time in hell.

[@nikolasproctor7061]

I remember the first time I heard that one. I was watching Victory At Sea and the narrator said it was allegedly written on the grave of a US Marine who died and was buried during the Guadalcanal campaign.

[@joshlove3355]

Suicide in the trenches is the only one missing for this to be a list of my favourite poems from the era with all that hell around them they were still able to create beauty in words

[@RobG811]

My great Grandpa kept a journal during WWI and General Pershing wrote a quote in it that I always liked: "Hardship will be your lot, but trust in God will give you comfort; temptation will befall you, but the teachings of our Saviour will give you strength. Let your valor as a soldier and your conduct as a man be an inspiration to your comrades and an honor to your country." - John J. Pershing

[@robsonbarstow9355]

There’s no honour in leaving your family to die for a flag. Fellow workers are your comrades, the working man belongs to no country. Your enemies run your parliaments, who send you to fight in their wars for corporate profits. War is a racket.

[@spikerooney7458]

Dulce et decorum est; it gets me every time!

[@probablygraham]

From all the books and poems which we studied at school, this poem had the greatest effect on me. My grandad fought in the Great War and refused to talk about it, but our mum told us that he once told her and our uncle that he was crawling through thick mud when he put his hand in something that felt like jelly. When he looked, he discovered that it was the face of a dead soldier who had been lying in the mud for a long time. I can't hear "Dulce et decorum est" without thinking of the horrors which my grandad and so many other young innocent men experienced. I am so lucky that I haven't had to experience anything like it.

[@kevinschwager4327]

Although we don't have a Remembrance Day, here in Germany, like many other countries have, i always remember those who have lost their lives in the cause of an war. On any side. I mourn them all. It's complicated for us Germans to do so. I lost one of my best friends in Afghanistan, so i know what it's like to lose someone you hold dearly in your heart. What a waste of good people who had their lives before them. May we ever have peace between our people. Peace and harmony to you all.... Lest we forget

[@mikeyblueeyes8449]

I'm sorry to hear about you're friend it's sad that still in this day and age we are forced to fight and told to hate our brothers and sisters we are all people we all have families and loved ones it's sad that the normal man is always sent to be killed while those who cause wars never fight themselves....humanity should learn from the past .

[@jflynn9081]

I’m English and as much as I feel a deep mourning and gratitude for my countrymen who fought, suffered and died for me, i don’t ever blame any German man they fought against. I mourn them too. I’ve been to Normandy and I have felt deep pain for what your countrymen went through. I know the wars are a complicated issue in your country, but I want you to know that I love your country. I am grateful now that we live in a time where our countries can be friends. Thank you for listening to these British war poems. You seem a good man. I hope if you ever visit the UK, you are treated with the kindness and respect you deserve

[@dorakemirimookuja7242]

These timeless poems are beautifully interpreted. Thank you Red Frost.

[@MegaFount]

I highly recommend watching They Will Not Grow Old, Peter Jackson’s loving documentary about the men who fought in WWI. It was one of the most brutal, seemingly meaningless wars ever fought. This film lends insight and understanding of the men who fought in that savage war.

[@arthurjames5098]

The speaker pronounces dulce incorrectly

[@Wooster23]

@@arthurjames5098 He uses the Latin of England, which (at least in the 19th and early 20th century) was different than the Latin of the continent. Recall that we have no absolutes on Latin pronounciation. Some ancient transliterations from Greek to Latin are helpful, but otherwise not much is known.

These poems are stunning The “or in lime” is ghastly because like chlorine gas to lungs, lime corrodes bodies, which brings me to how lime was used to quicken the process decomposition and cover the smell of bodies, alluding to the man’s soon demise

[@tony6796]

Thank you!

[@holladaycummings7884]

There was a time when war was to protect those who could not protect themselves from a Real Evil at hand, Wars after were fought for greed of those we will never shake hands with or even want to ever look upon and so, we still find a reason to allow the greed b/c we are fed an idea. Listen, read, hear...the truth is lost in greed and in our own silence. There is no need for ugly just, the idea of loving each other and not wanting more than our need; life is so amazing with Everyone in it. Can you imagine who may have been lost, who just may have cured Cancer or found Peace. Remember....everyone lost through hate, betrayal, judgement, racism, or just plan greed and misunderstanding.

Poetry Is Meant To Be Spoken In The Passion Wherewith It Was Written, Not Merely Read In Monotonous Tone Of Mind. This Expression We Call Poetry, Is The Art Of Human Soul, Amidst The Nature And Spirit Of Life, And The Sorrows Of Death, As Dark As Coal. A Message For The Future, Scribed In Ash Upon A Page, Not For The Faint And Weak Of Heart, But For The Brave, The Knight, The Sage. That Sail May Tread Forecharted Waters; That Travelers Of Sea Beware; That Light May Shine Through Foggy Mist; That Path Be Clear For Those Who Dare. Tis' Not A Folly, Nor Waste Of Time, To Map The Winds And Depth And Tide, To Set Verse In Memory For Those We Love, In Honor Forwarning Those Yet To Come, For Remembrance Of The Faithful Living, To The Honor Of Those Who Have So Honorably Died. Let Not The Past Be One's Final Warning; Take Heed To The Ships Once Dashed Upon Stone; Sail Past The Rocks Through Narrow Channel; Make Port One's Vessel, Journeyed Safely Home; Never Tread Rough Waters Alone.

[@MegaFount]

Dulce et Decorum est 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 gas-shells dropping softly 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[1] 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.

DADS AT WAR ! Where would I be without you dad My hero of night and day? I'm so glad you love my mother And think of us when you pray. The last time we had Christmas You reached for me with your hand. I looked at you, then made a wish That I might be just half the man. I love my father of Earth, And I love my Father of Heaven. It's a lot for me to love, you know For I’m only eleven. Mom and I sure miss you Since you left to defend our flag. When others ask, where’s your dad I can't help but share, cry and brag. It’s not a priest that gives us our freedom of religion And it’s not a reporter that gives us our freedom of voice. It’s not any judge, lawyer, politician, preacher or teacher But the blood of a soldier that has sacrificed by choice. THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR HEART !
