DULCE ET DECORUM EST(1) Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares(2) we turned our backs And towards our distant rest(3) began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots(4) Of tired, outstripped(5) Five-Nines(6) that dropped behind. Gas!(7) Gas! Quick, boys! – An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets(8) just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling, And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime(9) . . . Dim, through the misty panes(10) and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams, before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering,(11) choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud(12) Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, My friend, you would not tell with such high zest(13) To children ardent(14) for some desperate glory, The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori.(15) Wilfred Owen 8 October 1917 - March, 1918 Notes on Dulce et Decorum Est 1. DULCE ET DECORUM EST - the first words of a Latin saying (taken from an ode by Horace). The words were widely understood and often quoted at the start of the First World War. They mean "It is sweet and right." The full saying ends the poem: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori - it is sweet and right to die for your country. In other words, it is a wonderful and great honour to fight and die for your country. 2. Flares - rockets which were sent up to burn with a brilliant glare to light up men and other targets in the area between the front lines (See illustration, page 118 of Out in the Dark.) 3. Distant rest - a camp away from the front line where exhausted soldiers might rest for a few days, or longer 4. Hoots - the noise made by the shells rushing through the air 5. Outstripped - outpaced, the soldiers have struggled beyond the reach of these shells which are now falling behind them as they struggle away from the scene of battle 6. Five-Nines - 5.9 calibre explosive shells 7. Gas! - poison gas. From the symptoms it would appear to be chlorine or phosgene gas. The filling of the lungs with fluid had the same effects as when a person drowned 8. Helmets - the early name for gas masks 9. Lime - a white chalky substance which can burn live tissue 10. Panes - the glass in the eyepieces of the gas masks 11. Guttering - Owen probably meant flickering out like a candle or gurgling like water draining down a gutter, referring to the sounds in the throat of the choking man, or it might be a sound partly like stuttering and partly like gurgling 12. Cud - normally the regurgitated grass that cows chew usually green and bubbling. Here a similar looking material was issuing from the soldier's mouth 13. High zest - idealistic enthusiasm, keenly believing in the rightness of the idea 14. ardent - keen 15. Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori - see note 1 above. This was written by Wilfred Owen (1893-1918). Source for poem and notes: http://www.warpoetry.co.uk/owen1.html

Gregor Samsa Mendel has kibitzed 1585 times to chessgames   [less...]

May-20-13 Kenneth Rogoff    Gregor Samsa Mendel: <aw>--Actually, God meant to visit doom and destruction on the godless sodomites of San Francisco, but He has crummy aim sometimes.      May-20-13 F J Moyano Morales vs C Merlo, 1967    Gregor Samsa Mendel: Mar del Plata is a beautiful place. Someday I'd like to visit it again. Queen sacrifice Monday.      May-12-13 Topalov vs J L Hammer, 2013    Gregor Samsa Mendel: I could probably draw this position against a grandmaster. Time for Topalov to settle for the half point.      May-09-13 V Vepkhvishvili vs D Gedevanishvili, 1983    Gregor Samsa Mendel: I figured that the most likely first move to this combination was 32 Bf5+, but I what I didn't see was 36 Rf6+...      May-08-13 Hertneck vs A Ferreira, 1983    Gregor Samsa Mendel: Rats. I saw the ghost of the pawn on e6...      Apr-19-13 Nakamura vs R Hess, 2012    Gregor Samsa Mendel: I didn't see 30...Qa4. I usually don't get Friday puzzles...      Apr-16-13 Kibitzer's Café    Gregor Samsa Mendel: <diceman>--The same reason that the singular of Dice isn't Douse.      Apr-16-13 T Chua vs P Aizpurua, 2010    Gregor Samsa Mendel: <BraveUlysses>--In your line, I think 26 Rxf8# is quicker.      Apr-08-13 Dejan Pikula   Gregor Samsa Mendel: <TheFocus: Has the odd nickname of Mustard.> Which explains why he's a GM at Clue as well as chess; he was in the same cadet class as Mortimer.      Apr-07-13 Naiditsch vs W So, 2012    Gregor Samsa Mendel: <drukenknight>--It looks like 40..Re6 loses the a-pawn after 41 Qa8+ and 42 Qxa7.      Mar-31-13 Radjabov vs Carlsen, 2013     Mar-31-13 Kramnik vs Gelfand, 2013     Mar-29-13 Carlsen vs Ivanchuk, 2013     Mar-27-13 Carlsen vs Gelfand, 2013
