Poems Flashcards
Bayonet Charge quotes
shot-slashed furrows
stumbling across a field of clods
bullets smacking
raw-seamed hot khaki
air dazzled with rifle fire
like molten iron
Extract from The Prelude quotes
grim shape
I struck and struck again
trembling oars
craggy ridge
huge and mighty forms
unknown modes of being
Exposure quotes
our brains ache
twitching agonies of men
but nothing happens
less deadly than the air
some other war
frost will fasten on this mud and us
On us the doors are closed
Remains quotes
myself and somebody else and somebody else
looters
probably armed, possibly not
broad daylight on the other side
tosses his guts
London quotes
chartered street
mind-forged manacles
black’ning church
every
runs in blood down palace walls
Ozymandias quotes
antique land
king of kings
shattered visage
lone and level sands
trunkless
