Reflecting on War to Reach Peace [3A]
In this area students are invited to read poetry and text considered significant to carry out a multi-perspective analysis on war and the way it has been judged and is judged even now.
In view of promoting such reflection a poem will be pasted here below as an example of the different visions of war.

Glory of Women

You love us when we’re heroes, home on leave,
Or wounded in a mentionable place,
You worship decorations; you believe
That chivalry redeems the war disgrace.
You make us shells. You listen with delight,
By tales of dirt and danger fondly thrilled.
You crown our distant ardours while we fight,
And mourn our laurelled memories when we’re killed.
You can’t believe the British troops ‘retire’
When hell’s last horror breaks them, and they run,
Trampling the terrible corpses – blind with blood.
O German mother dreaming by the fire,
While you are knitting socks to send your son
His face is trodden deeper in the mud.
