(By Elizabeth Savage).
In almost all poetry that I have
come across which was written by
soldiers at war, I have been struck
by the fact that hatred of the ene-
my Is always lacking. Compassion
is there, but never hate. It must
take much more courage to go into
battle and fight and kill, without
hate, and with only grief and pity
that human beings must kill one
another In order to preserve hu-
manity at all. And yet men have
done it in other wars and many are
doing it in this one. They do what
must be done, and they do It with-
out hatred. But still there are some
commentators, and other people,
who say pur soldiers do not hate
enough; and they almost gnash
their teeth while saying it. Either
they are not thinking straight or
they have tofte confused with an-
ger, be angry without
hating, j An do terrible things
to people. a< xejk what it has done
to OermaiT. If wc. as a nation,
arc going to be taught to hate, then
we will soon be on the road to the
very things we are fighting against.
But there are men who have
fought wars without hatred. Wil-
fred Owen, an Englishman, was .one
of those men. He fought more
than two years In France during the
first World War. He was killed one
week before the Armistice, at the
age of twenty-five. He wrote what
is said to be some of the most mov-
ing poetry produced by any war.
Inf," he starts by saying:
"It seemed that out of the battle
I escaped"— and, then he tells ,of
meeting and talking with the enemy
he had killed. The poem proves
what a poet-friend, Siegfried Sas-
soon, said of him after his death,
“He pitied others; he did not pity
himself." Tlie same is true of
our own Walt Whitman who sum-
med up what I have been trying
to say when he wrote of another
war in his poem, "Reconciliation."
Word over all, beautiful as the
sky,
Beautiful that war and alt its
deeds of carnage mast in time be
utterly lost.
That tne hands of the sisters
Death and Night Incessantly softly
wash again, and ever again, this
soiled world;
For my enemy is dead, a man di-
vine as myself is dead,
I look where he lies white-faced
and still in the coffin—I draw near.
Bend down and touch lightly with
my lips the white face in the cof-
fin.
