Sonnets

**Wilfred Owen**
Wilfred Owen - video Dominic Hibbert on Wilfred Owen The Wilfred Owen Collection--The First World War Poetry Digital Archive My daddy's ship Dulce et Decorum Est One of Owen’s most moving poems, “Dulce et Decorum Est,” which had its origins in Owen’s experiences of January 1917, describes explicitly the horror of the gas attack and the death of a wounded man who has been flung into a wagon. The horror intensifies, becoming a waking nightmare experienced by the exhausted viewer, who stares hypnotically at his comrade in the wagon ahead of him as he must continue to march. []
