Exposure: Owen

• Context: WW1 written by the soldier, war is futile.
• "merciless iced east winds that knive us..."
• personified, violent verbs
• "But nothing happens," boredom of waiting for battle
• "For the love of God seems dying." amabdoned by God himself, futility
• "we turn back to our dying" stanza, lot of elippsis - spacing out, liminal space between life and death
