War Verse (1914)
O two-penny poets, be still!—
For you have nine years out of every ten
To go gunning for glory—
with pop-guns;
Be still, give the soldiers their turn,
And do not be trying to scrape your two-penny glory
From the ruins of Louvain,
And form the smouldering Liège,
From Leman and Brialmont.
—Ezra Pound
