  • on Anthem For Doomed Youth by Wilfred Owen, on June 10, 2005
    I do think it fits, I didn't mean to imply that it didn't. Slaughtered indeed!

  • on Anthem For Doomed Youth by Wilfred Owen, on June 9, 2005
    It was quite interesting to see the handwritten copy and the editing... that's fascinating for me! I prefer writing by hand when I'm able.
    "die as cattle?" I think of cattle as stupid herd animals, so I find this interesting.

  • on Wars by Carl Sandburg, on June 9, 2005
    War's devasation may not change but the method of it does and the severity... as this poem so clearly describes.
    Even if this was written in 1916, it's obvious it fits today's world. Certain leaders see themselves as kings (and have even referred to themselves as dictators!).
    The only thing I disagree with is "great causes" unless meant as vast causes... war isn't a great (as in good) thing to me.

  • on The Next War by Wilfred Owen, on June 9, 2005
    I almost like the Sassoon quote, though war is not a funny joke.
    I like the personification of death here. Almost reminds me of the final scenes of Monty Python's meaning of life, minus the humor.
