Read was an Imagist poet, and his narrative poem The End of a War is seen by Johnston as leading away from the lyrical form used by Owen, Sassoon, Graves, and others, and towards the epic form employed by David Jones in In Parenthesis (see also Robert Nichols and Ardours and Endurances).

 T.S. Eliot's Life and Career
Eliot's reputation as a poet and man of letters, increasing incrementally from the mid-1920s, advanced and far outstripped his theatrical success.
However, the multivarious tributes from practicing poets of many schools published during his centenary in 1988 was a strong indication of the intimidating continued presence of his poetic voice.
A master of poetic syntax, a poet who shuddered to repeat himself, a dramatist of the terrors of the inner life (and of the evasions of conscience), Eliot remains one of the twentieth century's major poets.

Raymond Asquith and Edward Horner were, respectively, the husband and brother of Katharine Asquith, née Horner, who as a result of the deaths of both men in action in World War One inherited Mells Manor and its estate and, more significantly for our theme for the day, found solace by converting to Roman Catholicism.
Raymond Asquith was, of course, the son of Herbert Asquith, Liberal Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1908 - 1916, who led Britain during the first two years of World War One.
He commented on the irony of the fact that as someone who was himself familiar with the life and work of Sassoon's fellow war poet Robert Graves, he had been used to hearing that people were not aware of Graves as a war poet (as Jean Moorcroft Wilson had also remarked in her lecture).

Naturally, all the great political episodes of Asquith’s time as Prime Minister, the Marconi affair, the Dardanelles fiasco and Churchill’s subsequent disgrace, the munitions scandal (which at least one of Asquith’s officer sons denounced), are treated in detail.
Asquith should have lived with his times and perceived the new, but absolute necessity to cultivate and flatter the demagogues and manipulators of Fleet Street.
Still, Asquith’s feeble resistance in his last few weeks in Downing Street can largely be explained by the loss of Raymond, his eldest son, killed by a bullet in the chest during the offensive Somme in September 1916.

Princip, a poet and spasmodic nationalist, memorably described by A. Taylor as a character out of Chekhov who unfortunately knew how to shoot, saw the “morning” plot, which involved a bowling-ball bomb-throwing right out of a Mack Sennett comedy, fail.
It was common in the past century to see the war as a blunder into which the masses were herded like sheep while the poets and philosophers grieved in vain.
The new histories suggest that the war was welcomed in 1914, and particularly by the literate classes, as a necessary act of hygiene, a chance to restore seriousness of purpose after the two trivial decades of the Edwardian Belle Époque.
