Songs of an Airman (Classic Reprint): And Other Poems

Hartley Munro Thomas

4.9/5 (20388 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Songs of an Airman: And Other Poems It seems at first a strange thing, this relation of poetry to war. Who can forbid the singer to sing of arms and the hero? Who will refuse to recognize the glory of sacrifice? Who is there who does not stand in amaze ment before the spectacle of youth inging away its normal future, and rushing like an athlete into the ter rible game? They live for ever who offer themselves in a great cause, and the poets sing of them, Homer, Virgil, Shakespeare. Even Milton reaches his noblest harmonies when chanting of battle. In other days this may have resulted in a glorification of war, with all its pomp and movement. And even to-day the externals of the strife may entrap the unwary artist's fancy. But below the pageant there is always the human soul; and the poet when he strikes his surest note, celebrates the unselfish devotion of men, through war, indeed if it must come, to the common weal.
