“Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,
And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds”
Neil McLennan, Chair of Scotland’s War Poets’ Corner, added: “The contribution of airmen, seamen, soldiers, those at home and war poets are remembered this Armistice. Interest in Wilfred Owen’s poetry greatly increased during the Vietnam War era when the world faced a potential World War Three. We live in turbulent times and so turn once again to Owen and the war poets to reflect on the pity of war, but also the supreme sacrifice to defend democracy.”
