Rupert Brooke-Poet-Soldier
His Message Lives
The war in Greece and the occupation by the Germans of Lemnos and other islanda 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:-"Ruperi 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 triuniph 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 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
In 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, blest by
suns of home.".
Rupert Brooke was only 28 when he died. He was on his way to fight at Gallipoli, and -his-transport-the-Graniully 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 wiki
and flower,
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 day of Shakes- peare and of St George--Brooke was buried under those very trees, He died from acute blood poisoning un board the French hospital ship, the Duguay-Irouin, which happened to be at Skyros.
His friends dug his grave und 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 ilex- bordered path. As the poignant notes of the "Last Pasi" rang
Cross the moonlit bay, Rupert Brooke's soldier canrades recalled his exulting sonnet, "The Dead";---
-By
M. M. GORRIE
"Blow out, your bugles, over the
rich dead!
There's none of these so lonely
aul poor of old,
But, dying, has made its rarer
pifts than gold.
These laid the world away;
poured out the red
Sweet wine of youth; gave up
the years to be
Of work and joy, and that un-
hoped serene.
That men call age; and those
who would have been,
Their sons, they gave, their im-
mortality."
The bronze statue of the young poet on Skyros-"Rupert's Island." his friends call it stands, high above. the beach, silhouetted against sen and sky. The inhabl- 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 comers of the world.
Ou_the_pedestal_is_a_medallion. of the poet's head and the simple inscription: To Rupert Brooke, and Iminortal Poetry,"
On the outbreak of war Brooke had joined the Naval Brigade, and in October 1914 took part in the expedition for the relief of doomed Antwerp. Writing to a friend, he sys-
"I saw a city bombarded and 100,000 refugees. Antwerp
Was 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 upyone who liked Ger- many as well as I did. Their guilt can never be washed out. I'm afraid fifty years won't give them the continulty and loveliness of life back again. And now I've i feeling of anger at a scen 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 ut beating Germans,"
And back in Blandford camp. in the sublimation of spirit engen- dered by the solemn dedication of his life to this end, his "1914" war sonnets were conceived-'my' five camp-children" he called them when writing to a friend.
Brooke saw and loved "the beauty that lives among the com- mon things." He writes:--
"These have 1 loved
White plates and cups clean
gleaming;
Soft furs to touch, and feathery
faery dust.
Wet roofs beneath the lamplight;
the strong crust
Of friendly bread; and many
tasting food.
The cool kindliness of sheets,
that soon
Smooth away trouble; and the
rough male kisa
Of blankets; grainy wood; the
keen
Unpassioned beauty of a great
machine."
Buth at Rugby and at King's College, Cambridge, he was steeped in the Hellenic tradition. Poetry was born in Greece; thus Brooke lles buried in the land of his split- tual birth.
And he and all the other_svis of Britain who lie in the "corners of those foreign fields that are for ever England" must surely watch with infinite pride, their sons' gal- fant response to the message of the Fiery Cross of Freedom. Their sacrifice will not and must not be in vain.
