The recent post by Daniel made me wonder if any filkers have put Wilfred Owen's war poetry to music?
My favourite is Strange Meeting, but this one is better known

Not a book... but a poem:
My grandpa ran away from home when he was 16yrs old, to another village in the Scottish borders where he wasn't known, so that he could join the army to fight in World War I.
~60yrs later, when I was also ~16, I studied *Strange Meeting* for my English Literature, school 'Higher' exam. I knew it well. Nothing has changed.#War #Fascism #Putin #Trump #Poetry #StrangeMeeting #WilfredOwen

These poems by Wilfred Owen pertaining to the horrors faced by soldiers in the WW1. I cried my way through these horrifically beautiful poems about war everything wrong with it. Owen leaves no stone unturned in this rendition of his and his comrades' experiences in rhyme, pulling away the vale of honour that shrouds military service. Every youth looking to enlist with glory in their eyes should be made to read this before committing.

Parole che potrebbero essere attuali, eppure sono state ispirate da fatti avvenuti oltre 100 anni fa, vissuti sulla propria pelle dal poeta inglese Wilfred Owen.

“NOT ABOUT HEROES”- 68x78cm (2009) - private collection
This painting is inspired by the English war poet #WilfredOwen (March 18, 1893 - November 4, 1918), who fell on the Oise-Sambre canal OTD.
Wilfred's poems resonate these days as if they were written today, as if they had not aged a single day, as if they had truly earned fresher fields than Flanders (cit.)... if you have the chance, read them.

Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen: Read by Christopher Eccleston
-
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter 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.Source: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46560/dulce-et-decorum-est

“NOT ABOUT HEROES” - 68x78 cm (2009) - collezione privata
Questo dipinto è ispirato al poeta di guerra inglese Wilfred Owen (18 marzo 1893 - 4 novembre 1918), caduto sul canale dell'Oise-Sambre in questo giorno.
Le poesie di Wilfred risuonano in questi giorni come scritte oggi, come se non fossero invecchiate di un solo giorno, come se si fossero davvero guadagnate campi più freschi delle Fiandre (cit.)... se avete modo, leggetele.

For my first post, I want to share a composition that means a lot to me. It presents two worlds: one ruled by pride, the other by humility. Which will you choose?

@aliettedb #WilfredOwen is a miracle. My personal favorite of his is The Parable of the Old Man and the Young. I can't hear or read that stunning last line without weeping.
Have you ever seen the film "Behind the Lines" starring Jonathan Pryce? (I think it had a different title in Britain. Based on the Pat Barker novel REGENERATION.) It's in part a wonderful depiction of the relationship between Owen and Sassoon, and gives Owen the last word, as it were.

But cursed are #dullards whom no cannon stuns,
That they should be as stones;
Wretched are they, and mean
With paucity that never was simplicity.
By choice they made themselves immune
To pity and whatever moans in man
Before the last sea and the hapless stars;
Whatever mourns when many leave these shores;
Whatever shares
The eternal reciprocity of tears.
#Insensibility
