    hepatosaurus:

    Why do you lie with your legs ungainly huddled,
    And one arm bent across your sullen, cold,
    Exhausted face? It hurts my heart to watch you,
    Deep-shadowed from the candle’s guttering gold;
    And you wonder why I shake you by the shoulder;
    Drowsy, you mumble and sigh and turn your head…
    You are too young to fall asleep for ever;
    And when you sleep you remind me of the dead.

    “The Dug-Out” by Siegfried Sassoon. Read by Sassoon, commentary by Dennis Silk.
