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 tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped 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.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
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;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
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.

Yes good job copying and pasting it into google. I had to analyze this in english class and there group information ends with "Ducle et Decorum est Pro Patria Mori" So I though it was fitting

I live in Canada. We were thrown on the spot in front of class and had to analyze the poem in front of everyone.

Wilfred Owen's "Dulce et Decorum Est"[2]

Quite an interesting poem, I enjoyed it due to its descriptiveness and how much detail the poet got into it.

My class in school spent a few classes on this poem, its interesting.

I brought this up though due to another thread about clan cliche's such as "Mess with the best, die like the rest." and I was considering this to be a cliche knowing that Dulce et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori means it is honorable and sweet to die for your country (Rough translation off of memory.
Therefore TGI is a cliche.

The poem is written about World War I, it's making a mockery of the notion that it is a noble and honourable affair to die for your country, as the Latin phrase suggests.

"Dulce et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori", was a phrase forwarded by the British government in an attempt to increase the numbers joining the armed forces. It translates to "it is sweet and honourable to die for the fatherland."
