Wild With All 5egrets

A brief summary*

A 2oem written to Siegfried Sassoon before his

discharge from the hos2ital the 2oem scra2es 3wen

Wilfred9s urge to survive the raging onslaught of the

war! We are introduced to the 2oem caught by thetension and fear in his body& 3wen is dominated by the

2ressure created by war& 3wen begins regretting the

life he has undervalued and wasted as his time towardshis seeming end draws closer! 0orced to be humbled as

his time draws short 3wen see9s the world in a newlight& refuting his 2ast thoughts of menial labour and

seeming to attain a %inshi2 with his cor2oral team of

men who may die at his side
