    Comparison of ‘Futility’ and ‘Poppies’ The two notorious war poems Futility by Wilfred Owen and Poppies by Jane Weir are poems that are different in many ways. Although they are both based on war‚ the theme of each poem is different. It is clear that ‘Poppies’ is about a mother talking about her son leaving her‚ whilst ‘Futility’ is about a man grieving the death of a comrade in battle. Whilst both poems share a sense of loss‚ in ‘Poppies’‚ it is more a fear of the possibility of loss rather than

    "Futility" Summary The speaker says to move him into the sun. The touch of the sun had always woken him before‚ both at home and in France‚ but it did not this snowy morning. If there is anything that could wake him it would be the "kind old" sun. It wakes the seeds and once it woke the "clays of a cold star". The speaker wonders if the man’s limbs and sides‚ which are still warm‚ are now too hard to stir. He wonders if this is why the clay "grew tall"‚ and why the "fatuous sunbeams" bothered

    Futility: Poetry and Owen

    • 659 Words

    Futility ~ Wilfred Owen Move him into the sun -
Gently its touch awoke him once‚
At home‚ whispering of fields unsown.
Always it woke him‚ even in France‚
Until this morning and this snow.
If anything might rouse him now
the kind old sun will know. Think how it wakes the seeds‚ -
Woke‚ once‚ the clays of a cold star.
Are limbs‚ so dear-achieved‚ are sides‚
Full-nerved - still warm - too hard to stir?
Was it for this the clay grew tall?
- O what made fatuous sunbeams toil
to break earth’s sleep
