Two Poems for Memorial Day (Part 2)

(Yesterday's poem: "Memorial Day" by Joyce Kilmer)

According to Roman poet and satirist Horace (65-8 B.C.), "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori (It is sweet and seemly to die for one's country)." Is it? Today read the poem "Dulce et Decorum est" by British poet Wilfred Owen.

Wilfred Owen (1893-1918)
