After all my years of playing soldiers, and then of reading History, I have almost a mania to be in the East, to see fighting, and to serve.
From Wilfred Owen
Ambition may be defined as the willingness to receive any number of hits on the nose.
I find purer philosophy in a Poem than in a Conclusion of Geometry, a chemical analysis, or a physical law.
I was a boy when I first realized that the fullest life liveable was a Poet's.
Flying is the only active profession I would ever continue with enthusiasm after the War.
Never fear: Thank Home, and Poetry, and the Force behind both.
The war effects me less than it ought. I can do no service to anybody by agitating for news or making dole over the slaughter.
Those who have no hope pass their old age shrouded with an inward gloom.
All I ask is to be held above the barren wastes of want.
All theological lore is becoming distasteful to me.
