Decorum, through the last half of the seventeenth century, had become the essential prediction of wit.
It is not to be wondered, therefore, that a later spokesman for decorum, Dr. Johnson, commends the `Ode' as `almost without a rival', and applauds particularly its condemnation of `exuberance of wit'.
The point is that these figures all operate here within terms of the poem's dual principles of structural decorum and discordia concors, and they receive their function not from themselves but from their end in the unity of the entire piece.

 Domestic-Church.Com: Essays: Coming to Terms: Decorum
Though the word 'decorum' calls to mind an outmoded concept from the era of tremulous Victorian ladies, I think it needs to be re-discovered and re-appreciated.
Decorum is a skill that can be developed and refined; an attitude that reflects the value you place on yourself and those around you; and a behavior, the way you walk, talk and dress.
Decorum is the Golden Rule in action: if you want to be treated with respect, learn to behave with respect.

 GameTavern - Comparison between 'Dulce et Decorum Est' and 'The Soldier'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Dulce et Decorum Est is a lucid protest against the unspeakable horrors of war.
While ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ conveys the ruthless reality of war and mocks the very act of patriotic death, Brooke uses ‘The Soldier’ to stress it is undeniably a honour to die for ones country, in this case ‘England’, and that it is ever more sweeter IF during war.
Owen uses ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ to portray and war as the epitome of hell, juxtaposing the devil over the gassed man. In contrast, uses ‘The Soldier’ to convey ‘England’ rather like ‘heaven’, and that it is righteous to defend such land in war.

From: Ozandgemfoxglove@ Dulce et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori means 'It's a sweet and seemly thing to die for your country.
He has used Latin as he thinks that the saying 'it is a sweet and seemly thing to die for your country' is old fashioned like the language of Latin.

The birth of Owen’s imagery style used in his more famous poems was during his stay at Craiglockhart War Hospital, where he met Siegfried Sassoon (another great war poet).
Owen’s new style (the one that was used in “Dulce et Decorum Est”) embelished many poems between August 1917 and Septermber 1918 (Spartacus Internet Encyclopedia).
In Latin, the phrase "Dulce et decorum est pro partria mori" means, "It is sweet and becoming to die for one's country." Owen calls this a lie by using good diction, vivid comparisons, and graphic images to have the reader feel disgusted at what war is capable of.

 decorum
Defined as the dignified propriety of conduct, manners, or appearance, decorum is by extension a social practice, part of the customs and observations of a polite society.
Thus, through the fluid and shifting categories of decorum, politeness, sensibility, and taste, the cultivated, socially desirable person emerged.
Crackenthorpe writes: "Nothing can be so unfortunate to an agreeable young lady as want of decorum, since, as her beauty raises envy of the world, they [the people of 'the world'] pursue it by a constant prying into her conduct" (no. 28).

Quoting House rules, the speaker said members must "preserve that proper restraint which will permit the House to conduct its business in an orderly manner without unnecessarily and unduly exciting animosity" in the House and in other branches of the government.
"The chair will enforce this rule of decorum with respect to references to the president, and asks and expects the cooperation of all members in maintaining a level of decorum that properly dignifies the proceedings of the House," Gingrich said.

The Salt Lake County Council was chastised Tuesday by one of the county's own attorneys for a lack of decorum during meetings in which solemnity and deliberation is paramount.
Deputy district attorney Gavin Anderson told the council that its conduct during two recent "quasi-judicial" meetings — in which the council acts as a judicial body in hearing administrative appeals — detracted from the main focus and lessened the confidence of participants.
Anderson criticized the members' walking in and out of chambers, conducting side conversations, answering cell phones and other distracting behavior.
