Brooke-Poet-Soldier ·
His Message Lives
The war in Greece and the nccupation by the Germans of Lemnos and other islands in the Aegean recalls the memory of Rupert Brooke, the young poet-soldier. He lies in Skyros, the Isle of Achilles, one of the loveliest of the Isles of Greece.
Of him Mr Winston Chur- chill said:"Rupert Brooke's thrilling voice has been swift- ly stilled, but its message lives. In his incomparable war sonnets he told, with all the simple force of genius, the sorrow and triumph of youth prepared to die for a noble cause. And he himself died in the absolute conviction of the rightness of his country's crusade."
Probably the loveliest of those war sonnets, as it is the best known, is "The Soldier" which I quote in part
"If I should die, think only this
of me;
That there's some corner of a
foreign field
That is for ever England. There
shall be
fa that rich earth a richer dust
concealed;
A dust whom England bore,
shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love,
her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing
English air.
Washed by the rivers, biest by
suss of home."
Rupert Brooke was only 28 when he died. He was on his way to fight ut Gallipoll, and his transport, the Grantully Castle, put into the Bay of Skyros.
Brooke and his friends scrambled joyously up and down the steep slopes of that exquisite island an island, like a great rock-garden of white and pink marble over- · grown with every kind of wild flower, and. everywhere splashed with great patches of vivid anemones.
They rested in the shade of an olive grove. Five days later, on. April 23, 1915-the ilpy of Shakes- peare and of St George-Brooke was buried under those very trees. He died from acute blood poisoning on board the French hospital ship, the Duguay-Irouin, which happened to be at Skyros.
His friends dug his grave and lined it with the gayest wild- flowers they could gather, and the sailors carried him at night by the light of lanterns up the steep lex- bordered path. As the polgant notes of the "Last Post" "rang across the moonlit bay. Rupert Brooke's soldier cemrades recalled his exulting sonnet, "The Dead";-
By
M. M. GORRIE
"Ilow out, your bugles, over the
rich dead!
There's one of these so lonely
and poor of old,
But, dying, has made us rarer
gifts than gold.
These taid the world away;
poured out the red Sweet wine of youth; gave up
the years to be
Of work and joy, aud that un-
hoped serene.
That nien call age; and those
who would have been,
Their sons, they gave, their im-
mortality."
The bronze statue of the young pact on Skyros-"Rupert's Island," his friends call it stands. high above the bench, silhouetted #inst sea and sky. The inhabi- tants of Skyros gave the ground and the marble for its base, and the statue itself is the gift of men and women in all corners of the _world___
On the pedestal is a medallion of the poet's head and the simple inscription: To Rupert Brooke, and Immortal Poetry."
On the outbreak of war Brooke hud joined the Naval Brigade, and In October 1914 took part in the expedition for the relief of doomed Antwerp. Wrlling to a friend, he
snys:
was
"I SAW a city bombarded and 100,000 refugees. Antwerp like several different kinds of hell, The Germans polley of frightful- ness succeeded well. I'll never for-
get that white-faced endless pro- cession of broken people. It's ghastly for anyone who liked Ger- many as well as I did. Their gullt can never be washed oul. I'm afraid fifty years won't give them the continuity and loveliness of life buck again. "And now I've a feeling of anger at a seen wrong -Belgium-to make me more re- solved in my work. The central purpose of my life now-the thing God wants of me is to get good at beating Germans."
And back in Blandford camp, in the sublimation of spirit engen- dered by the solemn dedication of his Ilfe to this end, his "1914" war sonnels were conceived-"my five enmp-children" he called them when writing to a friend.
Brooke anw and loved "the beauty that lives among the com- mon things." He writes:~*
"These have I loved. White plates and cups clean
gleaming;
Soft jure to touch, and feathery
facry dust.
Wet roofs beneath the lamplight:
the strong crust
Of friendly bread; and man
tasting food.
The cool kindliness of sheets,
that soon
Simooth ateay trouble; and the
rough male kiss
Of blankets; grainy wood; the
keen
Unpassioned beauty of a great
machine,"
Both
at Rugby and at King's College, Cambridge, he was sicoped in the Hellenic tradition, Poetry was born in Greece; thus Brooke Hes buried in the land of his spirl- __tual_birth_____
And he and all the other sons of Britain who He in the "corners of those foreign fields that are for ever England" must surely watch with infinite pride, their sons' gal- lant response to the message of the Fiery Cross of Freedom. Their. sacrifice will not and must not be In vain.
