Everyone seems to harp on ‘Dulce et Decorum Est' -- presumably because they had to read it in an English class at some point -- but I always rally liked 'Futility'. It's like you can hear Owen losing his faith in God.
- JamesLeonis 8y agoI have English class to thank for showing me his work. I ended up picking up a book of his poetry soon after. What struck me is his stark change from a Romantic poet to his Wartime poetry. I would like to add the cynicism in "Inspection" as a companion to "Futility" to mirror the loss of faith.
