Note: The Latin title translates “It is sweet and fitting.” The poems ends with a Latin saying, Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori: It is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country.

Then, view the painting “Over the Top” (1918, by John Nash, 1893-1977)

Which of these poems would you describe as the most idealistic and patriotic? Why?
What do you think might explain the obvious antiwar nature of Owen’s poem compared to the poems of Brooks and McCrae?
