  Tim Kendall on Sidney Keyes
Keyes' soldiers have no such hope for peace, unless it be that ambiguous peace of "the dream under the hill", with its deathly connotations.
Keyes himself survived only two weeks of active service, but — to adapt a phrase from Picasso — although he did not paint the war, the war was in everything he painted.
Keyes gives voices to the victims of war from ancient history to the present, and ends by merging commemoration and admonition: "This country of unfinished monuments / Troubles my vision: / It is well to remember the stone faces / Among these ruins".

A month or two ago, the name Sidney Keyes was mentioned here as an early rival of Larkin's, a contemporary who he seemed to decide he didn't like and it was suggested this might have been out of some kind of competitive jealousy that Keyes was published before Larkin had been.
Well, I've been looking at the Collected Keyes for a few days now and one has to say that by the time he was killed in 1943, before his 21st birthday, there would have been plenty for Larkin to be jealous of, if that was really how he felt.
Keyes, being a soldier, had good reason to be death-obsessed and they at least have that theme in common.

On the night of the April 28 and 29, Lieutenant Keyes and C Company launched an attack upon ground to the North of Peter's Corner, on the road between Oued Zarga and Tunis.
They advanced up the slope of a hill and were ordered to dig trenches and await the counter-attack.
Until recently, it was thought that Keyes had been wounded and taken prisoner and then died whilst in captivity, but it now appears that he was last seen firing a Tommy Gun at the approaching Germans and had fallen in action.

In observance of the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, the Grolier Club in December 1995 presented an exhibition featuring manuscripts, first editions, drawings and portraits of 130 British poets of the 1940s who served on the battlefronts and home front.
Among the major writers treated were T. Eliot, Edith Sitwell and Dylan Thomas in London; Keith Douglas and Sidney Keyes in North Africa; and Alun Lewis in Southeast Asia.
The distinguished and accomplished poets represented recorded in their verse the far-flung campaigns in which they served, the horrors they suffered in the London blitz, the bombing raids over Europe, the tank warfare in North Africa and Italy, and the hand-to-hand jungle fighting in Southeast Asia.

Those who received mid-month pay should see an increase in COLA in a few days, said Sidney Keyes, a staff accountant with the 175th Finance Command.
Now, Keyes said, the COLA should be on a more even keel, and the index should follow the exchange rate more precisely.
Keyes predicted the Per Diem Committee likely will adjust the COLA rate more quickly if the dollar strengthens again, “so it won’t be as drastic” a change in the index.

Donne, he said, "provided me with a touchstone of excellence, living proof that intensity of feeling was the very life-blood of great literature".

But the writers Empson tended to value, and to defend most vehemently, were people who were radically endangered by what they had to say: people like Donne and Milton and Coleridge and Joyce, for whom a certain amount of secrecy had become second nature.
Empson believed, in a way that became increasingly unfashionable, that writers could and should make themselves known through their writing; and that readers and writers, just like speakers and listeners, had what he called (praising Sidney Keyes’s poem ‘The Bards’ in a letter to Philip Hobsbaum) ‘astonishing powers.
The project of a writer or critic was, as he wrote to Rosemond Tuve, to make ‘yourself intelligible or directly convincing to the ordinary tolerably informed reader’.

He was not, of course, the only Cambridge man who died in Spain: but no doubt Sidney was not the sole English casualty at Zutphen.
The less powerful but melodious and pleasing poet of the time was Nicholas Moore, speaking partly in the Cambridge style, but more in his own, with some faint surrealist whispers behind the arras.
I have been told by someone who was an undergraduate then that at Cambridge they were rather conscious of not having anyone quite like Sidney Keyes at Oxford.

For Tippett the motivation was strongly personal; his songs are a memorial to Francesca Allinson, whose suicide in 1945 affected him so deeply that it was five years before he could translate his grief into music.
His songs are sub-titled Love under the shadow of Death and are settings of the poems of two young poets killed in the Secesnd World War, Alun Lawis and Sidney Keyes.
The idiom of the songs has similar characteristics tsr The Midsummer Marriage, written at the same time: diatonic melodic material is set in varied, expanding tonal surroundings.
