Length : Text-only version Prev Index Next Your comments on this poem to attach to the end [ microfaq Anustup.Datta@ The Working Party Siegfried Sassoon (one of a series of war poems submitted by Anustup; see poem #481 and poem #503 for two previous instances; there are more to come - t.) What can one say about these poems? Any poor words that I may construe are but woefully inadequate beside the stark reality of these pictures of war and suffering in the trenches. The impulse to string together some of these was triggered by re-reading Rupert Brooke's "The Soldier" ( Poem #280 on the Minstrels) - a soulful evocation of fighting and dying for one's country. The wistful melancholy of that poem is in sharp contrast to the dark underbelly of war portrayed by Sassoon and Owen. The first poem is by Sassoon, as grisly as any that Owen wrote - for instance, one is forcibly reminded of "Dulce et Decorum est" ( Poem #132 on the Minstrels). A worthy poem for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier anywhere - far more appropriate than "For the sake of their tomorrows". But great poetry nevertheless - see for instance the craftsmanship of the last two lines, how that freeze-frame of the fatal bullet is captured against the backdrop of the flare's harsh light. Anustup.

Arguably, but not indisputably. Many critics, begging to differ with such a judgment, would argue that his friend, Wilfred Owen, was more gifted and could boast a superior achievement in verse. Yet, if they are right, Sassoon becomes, if not the greatest, then certainly the most important of the War Poets. Sassoon was Owen's mentor, without whom Owen would probably have never written the acerbically assonant verse for which both men are celebrated. Owen was killed in action on the Western front in 1918, one of the final victims of the dying embers of World War I. As such, he remains cocooned in the incorruptible image of eternal youth. A slaughtered lamb, butchered before his gifts could develop. Sassoon, on the other hand, lived to a ripe old age, growing ever closer to Christ and His Church. His life, and the poetry that was its expression, would be one long and contemplative search for truth, a poet's pilgrimage. Having been wounded in the fighting on the Hindenburg Line, Sassoon was sent home. Then he began to reflect upon the human butchery he had witnessed, endured, and inflicted. From these moments of reflection the hero hatched the villain. The perfect soldier became the pacifist rebel. "Siegfried's unconquerable idealism changed direction with his environment," wrote Robert Graves. "He varied between happy warrior and bitter pacifist."
