fluencymark: …But a big blot has hid each yesterday
So poor, so manifestly incomplete.
And your bright Promise, withered long and sped,
Is touched, stirs, rises, opens and grows sweet
And blossoms and is you, when you are dead.
Charles Hamilton Sorley

To the gates of death with song.

Strew your gladness on earth's bed,
So be merry, so be dead."

Across your dreams in pale battalions go,
Say not soft things as other men have said,

KMatthewBennet1: Today is the anniversary of the Scottish war poet Charles Hamilton Sorley's death who fought and died in the Great War. Please spend some time today to read his poetry and about his life.
CaniTerrae: The rain is on our lips,
We do not run for prize.
But the storm the water whips
And the wave howls to the skies.
The winds arise and strike it
And scatter it like sand,
And we run because we like it
Through the broad bright land.

You are blind like us. Your hurt no man designed,
And no man claimed the conquest of your land.
But gropers both through fields of thought confined
