  1. Dulce et Decorum Est By:Wilfred Owen

  2. “It is sweet and right to die for your country.”

  3. Alliteration 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.

  4. Hyperbole • Men marched asleep. • Many had lost their boot, • But limped on, blood-shot. • All went lame, all blind; • Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots • Of gas-shells dropping softly behind…

  5. GAS! GAS! Quick, Boys!---

  6. Caesura • Gas! Gas! Quick, boys!--- An ecstasy of fumbling • Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,

  7. Real Life Gas

  8. But someone still was yelling out and stumbling • And floud’ring like man on fire or lime— • Dim through the misty panes and thick green light, • As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

  9. In all my dreams before my helpless sight • He plunges at me, guttering choking, drowning…

  10. If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace • Behind the wagon that we flung him in, • And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, • His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin

  11. If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood • Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs • Biter as the cud • Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,---

  12. My friend, you would not tell with such high zest • To children ardent for some desperate glory, • The old Lie: • Dulce et decorum est • Pro patria mori… • It is sweet to die for one’s country…
