Dulce et Decorum Est

Questions & Quotes from the poem 'Dulce et Decorum Est' by Wilfred Owen

QuestionAnswer
Who wrote 'Dulce et Decorum Est'? Wilfred Owen
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
Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! Quick! An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, 
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. 
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.
