Poetry

• ‘We are prepared’
• ‘We build’
• ‘Wizened earth has never troubled us’
• ‘Strange, it is a huge nothing that we fear’
• ‘Sea is company, exploding comfortably’
• ‘Wind dives and strafes invisibly’
• ‘The horizon’s bound, a huge peak, black and huge’
• ‘Silent water stole my way back to the covert of the willow tree’
• ‘There hung a darkness, call it solitude’ 
• ‘Deep into grassier ditches. So we drowse, sun dozed, Littered with blossoms trickling where the black birds fusses’
• ‘Less deadly than the aire’
• ‘Flowing flakes that flock’
• ‘That dazzled with rifle fire, hearing Bullets smacking the belly out of the air’
• ‘The patriotic tear that had brimmed in his eye’
• ‘King, honour, human dignity, etcetera’
• ‘In what cold clockwork of the stars and the nations was he the hand pointing that second?’
• ‘Rode the six hundred’
• ‘When can their glory fade?’
• ‘Volleyed and thundered; stormed at with shot and shell’
• ‘Noble six hundred’
• 'Into the jaws of Death, into the mouth of Hell.'
• ‘The horizon’s utmost boundary; far above was nothing but the stars and the grey’
• ‘He was running like a man who has jumped up in the dark.’
• ‘Proud of his skill, to reach a chosen point with an unswerving line, I fixed my view’
• ‘Into the valley of death’
• ‘Cannon to the right of them, left of them, front of them’
• ‘Someone had blundered’
