for owen, that meant writing. owen's doctor encourages him to write both essays and poetry.efully, if you were comfortable things, busy all day doing doing worthy things, then you would have some sense of peace and rest at night, and you would be able to recover. the job of the doctors here was, wilfred owen wrote, "to make the officers dangerously well, to return them to the front". owen died seven days before the war ended, his family told as the bells marking the armistice rang out. his poems, an epitaph for the horror of war. 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. the words of wilfred owen from a century ago. newsnight is on bbc two and here on bbc one at121i0 there's a special programme with results of those mid term elections in the us. here on bbc one time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm sarah mulkerrins. coming up: tottenham score twice in the last 15 minutes against psv eindhoven to keep their champions league dream alive. red ho
