16 Oct rupert brooke, the dead
This particular sonnet is the third one in the collection. 1914. Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead! These had seen movement, and heard music; known. Throughout the next years of his life Brookes traveled throughout England and Europe and in 1911 he published his volume Poems.
“Blow out, you bugles”: a bugle is a simple trumpet used in military funerals— in the British Empire, ‘The Last Post’ was played over the bodies of the dead.
And paid his subjects with a royal wage;
What was it Really Like to Fight in the First World War. “Honour has come back, as king, to earth”: the personification continues, here with Christ-like connotations: also a suggestion of the medieval myth of ‘the return of the king’— which brings restoration and new life to the land. Rupert Chawner Brooke (3 August 1887 – 23 April 1915) was an English poet known for his idealistic war sonnets written during the First World War, especially The Soldier. Considering trauma, censorship and social convention, Julian Walker asks why many soldiers were unwilling or unable to talk about their experience of World War One. It can be compared to Brooke’s other great poem of remembrance, ‘The Soldier’ (p.163); also, to the sentiments expressed in other poems like McRae’s ‘In Flanders Fields’ (p.165), Thomas’ ‘In Memoriam’ (p.179) and Owen’s ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’ (p.188).].
“They brought us…Holiness…Love and Pain…”: Brooke again insists that, to a place of “dearth”— ‘lack’ or famine— the soldiers bring back the personified characters of Holiness, Love and Pain.
Holiness, lacked so long, and Love, and Pain.
Brooke continues on this path, crafting a world of beauty, by saying that “He,” presumably God, “leaves” throughout this world, “a white / Unbroken glory, a gathered radiance.” All of God’s power, beauty, and mercy are bound together and at their peak in this heaven. The poem describes the dead, those that have passed on, as having “hearts [that] were” made up of both “joys and cares.” This is the first of a number of complimentary contrasts that Brooke will present in this piece. He believed that if you died for your country you were his brother and honourable. Rupert Chawner Brooke(3août1887- 23avril1915) est un poèteanglaisconnu tant pour ses poèmes idéalistes anti-guerre, les War Sonnetsécrits pendant la Première Guerre mondiale(notamment The Soldier), que pour les poèmes qu'il a écrits en temps de paix, particulièrement The Old Vicarage, Grantchesteret The Great Lover. “gave up the years to be…”: the dead men’s sacrifice is vividly drawn out by Brooke as he speculatively imagines their years of “work and joy” lost; as is their “serene” time, or peaceful time, of old age. The poem is made up of two stanzas and the first rhymes in a pattern of ABABCDCD, while the second rhymes, EEFGFG.
