Have you forgotten yet? ...
For the world's events have rumbled on since those gagged days,
Like traffic checked while at the crossing of city-ways:
And the haunted gap in your mind has filled with thoughts that flow
Like clouds in the lit heaven of life; and you're a man reprieved to go,
Taking your peaceful share of Time, with joy to spare.
But the past is just the same - and War's a bloody game ...
Have you forgotten yet? ...
Look down, and swear by the slain of the War that you'll never forget.
Aftermath - written March 1919 - Siegfried Sassoon CBE, MC
[Septimus Smith]
I'm not quite sure I feel like remembering. I don't quite have the luxury of it all being ninety years ago, but if you'd like -- rather, if you want, and if you'd like. Perhaps we could do something? I'm not sure what -- I think I just need air.
