Yes, you seem to understand, Mr. Trumbull. Why would one focus on all of the details surrounding the kernal, or the point of the matter, rather, instead of the point (or kernal) itself? Is there anything to be learned from those details? I really cannot be sure.

They has me shaking in my pants. I have no idea how someone could write words as dark as this, painting a picture as depressing as this. I am not sure there exists a cause just enough to justify people losing their legs or their sight or getting syphilis or outright dying. I am no… View More

Oh Mariner, I have visited you, too, although in different form from that with which I have visited William Wordsworth. And you also have a sensitive soul, perhaps made so by that which you have experienced, but profound nonetheless. You must feel such kinship with those men, who have seen inexplicable things and have lost… View More

Death is a part of life, but there is no greater tragedy than needless death and needless suffering, brought about by human ignorance; life is precious and should allow for the fulfillment of the individual if at all possible. With the tragedies of the past not yet satiating humanity’s willingness to engage in warfare, will… View More

The message Miss Loy conveys in Feminist Manifesto is far too dramatic and aggressive for me to even consider as a proper argument or statement. I believe I understand where she is coming from, as far as where the “place” of women has been, traditionally, since the dawn of society; I have always thought it silly… View More

I like this Sigfried Sasson fellow for many reasons. But the main reason why was, because he told it how it is! He knew what the war was really about and had no problem telling the public what he truly believed! What they did not want to hear! Oh yes I really do like a… View More

I can’t help but note that Poetry such as “ The Glory of Women” fail to express a very overlooked truth about the casualties of war. Women may be depicted as blind to the hell these brave men face in war, but few understand that they face the same thing in worrying about sons, lovers,… View More

I am inclined to agree good doctor With you about this Mina Loy. Her mind sails on ill-fated winds As she rejects womanly joy.   Were she aboard my ship then, When death and life-in-death claimed The lives of my mates by chance She’d wish that at home she stayed.   One woman I met… View More

Times are changing indeed. As those like Loy begin to change the way women are viewed by the public, I’m certain the position of Captain, as well as those within the crew, will be occupied more equally. How well such a change will be received and how soon is another story all together, being that… View More

To this Siegfried Sasoon, the poor wretch, I feel an odd and grim relation. Through his passing of the New Menin Gate We share a self-same damnation.   And yet, cruel fate, to all the dead Did ‘Nameless’ name these people. Evinced upon a stone, inscribed the doom That their families lament in steeples.  … View More
