Pro patria mori.”

“the old lie” – devastating indictment of war fever. Wilfred Owen once sent a letter to his mother beginning, “Mother, this week I have not been at the front. I have been in front of it.”

he was killed a week before the armistice, and his sister had a vision of him that same night and realized the portent.
