War Poetry - Bridge Course #1 #Semester2 #MKBU

Hello Learners, Welcome to the Bridge Course!!! The topic you will self study this week is War Poetry. Go through the presentation to know something about War Poetry:-   War Poetry from Department of English MKBU Click here to read The Poetry of World War 1 Let's study some poems by the War Poets:- 1.)Dulce et Decorum Est - Wilfred Owen Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs, And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots, But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.   Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time, But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.— Dim through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
