Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Home in War Time: Poems Of the poetry of war there is no dearth in literature; the Song of the Sword is the oldest of all songs - older even than the song of the love of men and women. From dead immemorial ages to our own time the clash of steel has been the readiest of inspirations. Like making love, making war is one of those primal instincts that lurk in the heart of the most civilised of us: war - have we not seen it patently through these last few crowded months? - is still the great game, for the privilege of playing at which men will cheerfully sacrifice comfort, prosperity, home ties, life itself. And surely the great game deserves its meed of lyric celebration. But the delight of conflict, the grim horror of the stricken field, are but one side to war: there remains home in war time - home, and those who wait and watch at home.
