This man wrote a poem in which the narrator meets "the enemy you killedÂ…you jabbed and killed". This poet claims that "Not in the hands of boys but in their eyes / shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes." One of his poems describes a man who failed to put on his gas mask in time and thus plunges at the narrator "guttering, choking, drowning". That poem take its title from a Horace phrase described as "The old Lie." A sonnet by this poet of "Strange Meeting" opens "What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?" Name this poet of "Dulce Et Decorum Est" [DULL-kay et day-KOR-um est] and "Anthem for Doomed Youth."
