A Palinode Comments

One of the best poems by Wilfred Owen......Thanks for sharing....

I like this having recently visited New York City where I grew up and being reacquainted with its greatness and also loving nature here in my neighborhood with many parks and in its more pristine form a short drive into the mountains. The most striking line for me is In secret deserts where the night was nude. -GK

Pacific lamentations of a bell; The smoking of the old men at their doors; All attitudes of children; the farewell And casting-off of ships for far-off shores.

A wonderful write of changing attitudes in difficult times.

Far-off shores! ! ! That others did not need me anymore. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
