Another Find Dark Lady An Old Story Afterthoughts More poems of Edwin Arlington Robinson » And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when he talked; But still he fluttered pulses when he said, 'Good­morning,' and he glittered when he walked. And he was rich ­ yes, richer than a king ­ And admirably schooled in every grace: In fine, we thought that he was everything To make us wish that we were in his place. So on we worked, and waited for the light, And went without the meat, and cursed the bread; And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet through his head.

Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots, But limped on, blood­shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of gas­shells dropping softly behind. Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time, But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.— Dim through the misty panes 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, 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 froth­corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,— My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori. NOTES: Latin phrase is from the Roman poet Horace: “It is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country.” Source: Poems (Viking Press, 1921) http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/175898 1/1
