"And watch the white eyes writhing in his face" is a quote from the poem Dulce Et Decorum Est, written by the greatest war poet of all time, Wilfred Owen. His poems give vivid descriptions of his time on the front line and reflect on the terrible experiences which he had to face daily. Through his poems, Owen was able to continue the legacy of the dead soliders and give them a voice even in generations to come. His graphic portrayal of warfare was a piteous reflection on the desparate nature and hopeless situations many soliders had to endure day after day, although his anger also is illurstrated throughout many poems aswell.
anthem for dead youth or anthem for doomed youth the questiont that posed in sassons mind as he read though one of wilfred owens 1st poems, a poem that conveys the bluntness of war hardly ever explored before in WW1 poerty. A type of poety tha tstill cuptures the mind of the british soldiers to this day because of the harsh truth that will make you or any other explore the past and the pain and suffering that comes with it making him one of the most stuided poets in history.
Considering taking A-level literature? You won't regret it! You will be both challenged and tantalised by the poetry of Wilfred Owen, arguably the greatest war poet to emerge from the horrors of WW1. Owen entered into the chaos 2 years into the War, drawn by the promise of 'jewelled hilts, for daggers in plaid socks, of smart salutes' and glory beyond measure, the lies that led many men to their deaths. Unlike some war poets, contaminating young minds with patriotic fantasies, Owen presents the reality of war. Of drooping tongues from jaws that slob their relish. Of the glorious ribbons ripped from their backs. Of the constant tease and doubt then nothing happens. Owen's poetry is among the most vivid and important ever written, and although he died a week before the end of the war, his poetry and the memory of those who died as cattle, will live on.
English Literature: Poetry, the art of words and meaning
Wilfred Owen, one of the greatest and most studied poets after Shakespeare. His anti-war poems transformed the face of modern literature by giving a voice to the soldiers that have fallen in war. His most famous poem, Dulce et Decorum est, is a master piece of art praised in literature and many other fields for over 90 years. This legendary poem presented a language, which before could’ve even be imagined for war poetry of any sort. It visualised the horrors and painful elements of the soldier’s life without shying away from ruthless and sickening images of war. The more you read the work of Wilfred Owen, the more shocking yet gripping it will seem. For his techniques are highly sophisticated for his time and without doubt an inspiration for many regardless of age or ethnic background, and the closer you look at one of poem, the more you will see for his art will introduce you to a world where everything you see has a meaning so deep, you might just want to loose yourself inside it.
With ‘rain, guttering down in waterfalls of slime’ on ‘steps too thick with clay to climb’ Wilfred Owen sat writing pulsed with anger against those Generals who sent them to face their death at war. His poems exposed the brutal truth of war opposing the work of previous patriotic poets, also providing a voice for the soldiers who fought and died. His vivid exploration of the landscape of war gives us an insight to the lifeless melancholy of war, forcing us to never forget those ‘poor lads, left in the ground’.
"In all my dreams before my helpless sight he plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning." Wilfred Owen's strong anti-war beliefs are communicated through his poetry, mainly through the graphic images created of physical and mental injury. The realistic accounts we are presented with are inspired by Owen's own experiences and observations of WW1.
"Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed,couthing like hags, we cursed through sludge." These are the opening lines to, what is said to be the greatest war poem ever to be written. 'Ducle er Decorum Est'. The poet Wilfred Owen is known for his dramatic descriptions of war life. He uses great imagery within all of his poems to expose the harsh realaties of war, and describe the truth of what soliders had to live with day in, day out. Wilfred Owen wanted to shock the people back at home by revealing the reality of war, Owen was a voice and a messenger for every single soliders that fought for their country.
Shakespeare is one of the most famous and successful poets, however the one poet you never study in GCSE is Wilfred Owen. Owen incorparates words with a sense of meaning in his poetry. Owen is a famous war poet that explores the effects that the front line had. 'The old lie; Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patri Mori'. This is from one of the famous war peoms ever written, Dulce Et Decorum Est poses strong issues from Owen. Wilfred Owen portrays the reality of warfare, which is unlike the romance of modern poetry that we are used to. Owen uses his poetry to portray the helish nature of warfare, 'doomed, smothering dreams' but also attracts the fellowship and bonds that the band of brothers create. Inspired by Sassoon, Owen demonstartes the horros of warfare in a soldiers everyday life and the pitious nature that he gives to the soldiers. Owen gives the dead unkown soldier a voice, that demonstrates the despiration that would affect the soldier pyscholgically as well as physically. 'He come at me, gluttering, choking, drowning'.
