Siegfried Sassoon

« All quotes from this author
 

Here was the world's worst wound. And here with pride
'Their name liveth for evermore' the Gateway claims.
Was ever an immolation so belied
As these intolerably nameless names?
Well might the Dead who struggled in the slime
Rise and deride this sepulchre of crime.
--
"On Passing the New Menin Gate" (1927-1928)
