Unbroken glory, a gathered radiance,
A width, a shining peace, under the night.''

Hey yo!
i would like to say i was impressed by your poem ' Safety' especially these words;
War knows no power. Safe shall be my going,
Secretly armed against all death's endeavour;
But i understand the following lines.
Safe though all safety's lost; safe where men fall;
And if these poor limbs die, safest of all.
According to my own point of view, i came to planet earth with an aim, objective & vision. Hence, i won't give up until i turn my dream into reality.
Have a nice day!

I think it's obvious that Richard Scotte misread Ian Fraser's post, and that he actually agrees with him. He must have taken 'Rupert Brooke's poetry gained an undeserved reputation' out of context. Mr. Fraser didn't assert that Rupert Brooke's reputation for *poetry* is undeserved; he said that his reputation for 'jingoism and a simplistic view of war' was undeserved.
After reading what's posted of '1914', I agree wholeheartedly. Brooke strikes me as a minor-league Wilfred Owen. If you want jingoism, try John McCrae's well-known 'In Flanders Fields', a poem that has made me want to barf since they force-fed it to me in elementary school. I don't understand how anyone can be 'patriotic' about such a stupid war as WWI.
