'''Wilfred Owen's "Futility"''' | '''Wilfred Owen's "Futility"''' | ||
| − | Owen was a poet contemporary to Eliot, also writing WWI thematic poetry such as his poem "Futility" | + | ''Move him into the sun — |
| + | Gently its touch awoke him once, | ||
| + | At home, whispering of fields unsown. | ||
| + | Always it woke him, even in France, | ||
| + | Until this morning and this snow. | ||
| + | If anything might rouse him now | ||
| + | The kind old sun will know. | ||
| + | Think how it wakes the seeds — | ||
| + | Woke, once, the clays of a cold star. | ||
| + | Are limbs so dear-achieved, are sides | ||
| + | Full-nerved, — still warm, — too hard to stir? | ||
| + | Was it for this the clay grew tall? | ||
| + | — O what made fatuous sunbeams toil' | ||
| + | To break earth's sleep at all?" | ||
