GLORY OF WOMEN
By: Siegfried Sassoon

The peom is about how women and mothers stayed home during war and how they felt. In this poem powerful images are produced like "When hell´s last horror breaks them" and "Trampling the terrible corpses-blind with blood", that tells the reader how horrible is war. Also how mothers feel during war and might think their sons won´t come back, like "You love us when we´re heroes" and "You worship decorations", which also are powerful images. And finally "His face is trodden deeper in the mud", which means that a german soldier is dying and suffering while his mother is knitting, and gives a great impact in the reader. I think it´s powerful poem with a great subject of mothers because it really makes you think of war.
