About "Dulce Et Decorum Est"
It is a poem written by Wilfred Owen during World War I, and published posthumously in 1920. The Latin title means "it is sweet and fitting". It is followed by pro patria mori, which means "to die for one's country". One of Owen's most renowned works, the poem is known for its horrific imagery and condemnation of war. (source: wikipedia)
