Futility is a poem by Wilfred Owen , possibly the most renowned poet of the First World War , written in May 1918 and published as no. 153 in The Complete Poems and Fragments . The poem is well known for its departure from Owen s famous style of including disturbing and graphic images in his work the poem instead having a more soothing, somewhat light hearted feel to it in comparison. It details an event where a group of soldiers attempt to revive an unconscious soldier by moving him into the warm sunlight on a snowy meadow. However, the kind old sun has absolutely no effect on the soldier he has died. poem Move him into the sun Gently its touch awoke him once, At home, whispering of fields unsown. Always it woke him, even in France, Until this morning and this snow. If anything might rouse him now The kind old sun will know. Think how it wakes the seeds, Woke, once, the clays of a cold star. Are limbs, so dear achieved, are sides, Full nerved still warm too hard to stir? Was it for this the clay grew tall? O what made fatuous sunbeams toil To break earth s sleep at all? poem Depictions in popular culture In 1982, singer Virginia Astley set Futility to music she had composed the track was included on an New Musical Express NME compilation cassette in October 1982 credited as The Ravishing Beauties and on Virginia Astley s 1983 album Promise Nothing . ref http www.virginiaastley.com discography comps html reel.html ref ref http www.virginiaastley.com discography albums html promise.html ref The poem is among those set in the War Requiem of Benjamin Britten .

The lack of nationality is alluded to within the final two lines, which relates to Cocker s dissatisfaction with the war at a whole, and the senseless killings made by soldiers of all fronts.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 A pruning poem is a poem that uses rhyme s that are prunings of each other. Each rhyme word is one letter shorter than the rhyme word before. Otherwise, they are the same word. While it is possible to write a pruning poem in couplet s or longer, it is most effective when the reader sees the pruning on the page. Thus, George Herbert , who conducted many formal experiments in verse, writes Paradise as a pruning poem. What open force, or hidden u charm u Can blast my fruit, or bring me u harm u While the inclosure is thine u arms u ?

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Poem of the End with no The in the title is the best known poem by Russian poet Vasilisk Gnedov . One of the most radically experimental poets of Russian Futurism , Gnedov s Poem of the End consisted of its title alone on a blank page. Gnedov would perform the poem on stage using a silent gesture. The collection from which it came, Death to Art 1913 , contained fifteen very short poems that gradually reduced in size from one line, to one word, one letter, and ultimately to Poem of the End. The poem has been compared to Kazimir Malevich s painting Black Square 1915 , John Cage s silent composition 4 33 1952 , and to Minimalism in general. A recreation of the performance of the poem was realized in 2007 by Miguel Molina, and released on cd by Recommended Records ReR Megacorp in a limited edition of 150 in 2009. The recording for the cd consists of approximately one hour of silence as captured via a wax cylinder, a recording device appropriate to the time. The Poem of the End with The in the title is a major poem by the White migr White Russian symbolist poet Marina Tsvetaeva . Written in Prague in 1924, the poem details the end of a passionate affair with Konstantin Boeslavovich Rozdevitch, a former military officer. Each of the sections deals with the crossing of a bridge and the symbolism is echoed relentlessly throughout the poem the mood is unremittingly tense and foreboding. Lovers for the most part are without hope passion also is just a bridge, a means of connection from the Elaine Feinstein translation .
