Move him into the sun

Gently its touch awoke him once,

At home, whispering of fields unsown,

Always it woke him, even in France...

--From Wilfred Owen's Futility

Here are the unforgettable works of two British poets who chronicled The Great War, but never lived to see its end. Although some of Brooke's verses come from an earlier, happier time, the most powerful poems convey the tragedy of warfare, including Brooke's 1914: The Soldier and Owen's Anthem for Doomed Youth and The Sentry.
