Keble College: The Record 2009
Ponderous with mortal fragilities twitched
Sherman turrets cluttered by vineyard rubble
Reconnoitre poor for a term of sorrows
Impedimenta
As in poor Karl whichever side he fought on:
How to mark this simply by telling stories
Better than where bloody arbitrement meets
Brute arbitration?
Like a common amnesty fix affrontage
That the soldiers volley sky-tilting rifles
That the high grave Fortresses may yet go down
Trailing their long screams
34
Outmanoeuvered why so exactly bond with
Coriolan · I shall have more to say there:
Night is rising bringing a moon upon it
Proper to omens
If I do not mourn what is my rejoicing
If I do not greatly lament him then whom:
Do the dead take on innocence by dying
Ask me another
In the bunkers they are designing new towns
Whisky bottle here so and next it the quaint
Biscuit tins grandees with their wines and velvets
Finished by Christmas
Forfeit your next leave if you cannot name them —
Prettily white almost undreamt-of flowers
Leaching schlachtfelds long-buried rust blotch-reddened
Strange to their species
Wish them not ill | heirs to misfestive folly
Wizard Masaryk whom Kokoschka sainted:
Raised full glasses broke them against the firestep
Dreading our children
Given what credit can be held for valour
Give no quarter | paucitys commons granted
Heroes in plenty · So make miscreant lords
Lords of creation
