• on Anthem For Doomed Youth by Wilfred Owen, on June 1, 2004

  oh my word, you know how truly freaky it is to be seeing this right now? today my world history teacher showed us this exact poem (well, the revised version) and I put down the author, thinking I might be able to find it here on oldpoetry, and then we talked about it in class, and I was just amazed at the poetry, because I really was able to see how these soldiers felt upon their return. The other poem we read was called "Nocturnal Landscape" (Anton Schnak) and the contrast between the one by the German side in WW1 and the British side, this one, was amazing. The Germans wanted their people to welcome them back, to sympathize, and such, but the British could no longer stand the sympathy of those who had no clue what they had been through. Powerful poem, even on its first copy, but being more so as he revised it. Wow
