<p>O Me! O Life!</p>

<p>O ME! O life!... of the questions of these recurring;<br>
Of the endless trains of the faithless—of cities fill'd with the foolish;<br>
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)<br>
Of eyes that vainly crave the light—of the objects mean—of the struggle ever renew'd;<br>
Of the poor results of all—of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me;<br>
Of the empty and useless years of the rest—with the rest me intertwined;<br>
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life? </p>

<p>Answer.</p>

<p>That you are here—that life exists, and identity;<br>
That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse.</p>

<p>Wilfred Owen</p>

<p>Dulce Et Decorum Est</p>

<p>Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of disappointed shells that dropped behind.</p>

<p>GAS! Gas! Quick, boys!-- An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And floundering like a man in fire or lime.--
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.</p>

<p>In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.</p>

<p>If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.</p>

<p>Wilfred Owen was a soldier in WWI. He died days before the Armistice. The latin in the last two lines translates to "it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country".</p>

<p>demsoc-
Such bars exist; I have found them here at home, but they are more commonly found in chocolate nuggets in boxed sets. I will have to look for the name of the company that makes them, however.</p>

25

<p>^ You're so lucky. The only thing we have in my area is chocolate covered macademia nuts. And I live in PA, which is where the first commercially sold chocolate bars were made.</p>

26

<p>wow the PA is getting owned lol.</p>

27

<p>^ Yes, but you forget: we have Amish people on our side! Muahaha.</p>

<p>Tetragrammaton:</p>

<p>Angustam amice pauperiem pati
Robustus acri militia puer
Condiscat et Parthos ferocis
Vexet eques metuendus hasta,</p>

<p>Vitamque sub divo et trepidis agat
In rebus. Illum ex moenibus hosticis
Matrona bellantis tyranni
Prospiciens et adulta virgo</p>

<p>Suspiret, eheu, ne rudis agminum
Sponsus lacessat regius asperum
Tactu leonem, quem cruenta
Per medias rapit ira caedes.</p>

<p>Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori:
Mors et fugacem persequitur virum,
Nec parcit imbellis iuventae
Poplitibus timidoque tergo.</p>

<p>Virtus repulsae nescia sordidae,
Intaminatis fulget honoribus,
Nec sumit aut ponit securis
Arbitrio popularis aurae.</p>

<p>Virtus recludens immeritis mori
Caelum negata temptat iter via,
Coetusque volgaris et udam
Spernit humum fugiente penna.</p>

<p>Est et fideli tuta silentio
Merces: vetabo qui Cereris sacrum
Volgarit arcanae sub isdem
Sit trabibus fragilemve mecum</p>

<p>Solvat phaselon, saepe Diespiter
Neglectus incesto addidit integrum:
Raro antecedentem scelestum
Deseruit pede Poena claudo.</p>
