Courage was mine, and I had mystery, Wisdom was mi · Wilfred Owen

And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.

Courage was mine, and I had mystery, Wisdom was mine, and I had mastery: To miss the march of this retreating world Into vain citadels that are not walled.

Courage and Strength Wisdom

Wilfred Owen was a prominent English poet, best known for his powerful and unflinching poems about the realities of trench warfare during World War I. He is considered one of the leading poets of the war, whose work vividly depicted the suffering, horror, and futility of combat. His poems were largely published posthumously but have since become seminal texts in understanding the experience of soldiers in the Great War.
