Wilfred Owen - Dulce et Decorum

I enjoy Owen's poems - not because they are a 'feel good' sort of poem, but because they put a true face on soldiers' personal struggles. Listen to this reading all the way through. It will give you chills. Also, on a side note, I looked up the last line "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori." It is roughly translated as "It is sweet and fitting to die for one's country." Now, listen or read the last several lines again. It makes it so much more clear, doesn't it?
