Men Tears Merriment

More From Wilfred Owen

Damn the great executives, the men of measured merriment, damn the men with careful smiles, damn the men that run the shops, oh, damn their measured merriment.
Running Men He Man
Then i noticed that my shadow was crying too, shedding clear, sharp shadow tears. have you ever seen the shadows of tears, mr. wind-up bird? they’re nothing like ordinary shadows. nothing at all. they come here from some other, distant world, especially for our hearts. or maybe not. it struck me then that the tears my shadow was shedding might be the real thing, and the tears that i was shedding were just shadows. you don’t get it, i’m sure, mr. wind-up bird. when a naked seventeen-year-old girl is shedding tears in the moonlight, anything can happen. it’s true.
Girl Real Heart
Our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption. and our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner - no mere tolerance or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment.
Real Taken People
I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes; nor would i be content with converting my tears, invited by my agonized self, into calm. it is my fervent hope that my whole life on this earth will ever be tears and laughter. tears that purify my heart and reveal to me the secret of life and its mystery, laughter that brings me closer to my fellow men; tears with which i join the broken-hearted, laugher that symbolizes joy over my very existence.
Laughter Heart Men
We must know the difference between sweat and tears. sweat is wet. tears are wet. sweat is salty. tears are salty. but progress comes through sweat. progress never came through tears.
Sweat Differences Progress
Alas, poor yorick! i knew him, horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it. here hung those lips that i have kissed i know not how oft. where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen?

Hail to st. aegolius our alma mater. hail, our song we raise in praise of thee long in the memory of every loyal owl thy splendid banner emblazoned be. now to thy golden talons homage we're bringing. guiding symbol of our hopes and fears hark to the cries of eternal praises ringing long may we triumph in the coming years. - the owls of st. aegolius

Maybe he sees it on my face, that fraction of a second when i let my guard down, because in that moment his expression softens and his eyes go bright as flame and even though i barely see him move, suddenly he has closed the space between us and he’s wrapping his warm hands over my shoulders—fingers so warm and strong i almost cry out—and saying, “lena. i like you, okay? that’s it. that’s all. i like you.” his voice is so low and hypnotic it reminds me of a song. i think of predators dropping silently from trees: i think of enormous cats with glowing amber eyes, just like his.
