All Things Poetic

Cecil Day-Lewis: Where Are The War Poets

They who in folly or mere greed
Enslaved religion, markets, laws,
Borrow our language now and bid
Us to speak up in freedom’s cause

It is the logic of our times,
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse

Cecil Day-Lewis
