The selections contained in this book make up a sequence which records the history of the Great War from the stirring days of August, 1914, to the opening of the Peace Conference in January, 1919. These selections of verse and prose are arranged, not necessarily in chronological order, but still with a view to indicate approximately the historic succession of great events and the varying moods of those authors and speakers who have been the voices of the allied nations during the fifty-two months of warfare. Although this anthology has been prepared for the use of schools, the plan of selection and arrangement has made it impracticable to grade the poems and extracts to suit the capacities of pupils of different ages. The judgment of the teacher must determine what is suitable for one grade and what for another. Many of the poems and some of the prose extracts will be found too difficult for young pupils. Due acknowledgments have been made throughout the book to the authors and publishers who have generously made it possible to bring together so valuable a collection of the literature of the War. The meed of gratitude due to all the writers represented here can never be adequately paid. Special mention is made of Nizamat Jung, Native Judge of the High Court of Hyderabad, who has given expression to the wonderful loyalty of the races of teeming India, which have poured out treasure and blood without stint in defence of their Emperor-King. A sufficient number of copies of this book should be kept in all school libraries; and it is suggested that the poems and prose extracts should be used in the reading classes, as often as is expedient, instead of the authorized Readers.

Excerpt from The War in Verse and Prose Emerging from a long drawn nightmare of war, the world will take account of its recent past even while it looks to preparation for the future. The retrospect will disclose an amazing alchemy. We were living through great days - how great we could not know until they had passed away. No epic has been written, nor is it likely any will be, for the war was its own epic; and there is no Homer to tell its story in one great song. The motive was too profound, the theme too vast. Homer's world was little. But out of the fury that raged round our world came many voices, voices of lamentation, of home, of love and hope and loftiest aspiration, of romance, of comedy as well as tragedy. They had their inspiration from the tremendous vision of a world grappling with death; from the thoughts and emotions not of one people, but of all that were fighting the battle of humanism. Poets great and poets minor have expressed the purpose and spirit of the war in a passionate, personal way impossible to the historian. Their utterances, being sincere, have enduring appeal. It would not be well were all these voices lost. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Poems of the Great War The responsibility for the selection of the poems included in this volume rests entirely on my shoulders, though I am pleased to acknowledge the very kind help on this side of the Atlantic of Mr. Edward C. Marsh of the Macmillan Company, Miss Helen Rex Keller, Librarian of the School of Journalism, and Professor A. H. Thorndike of Columbia University; in England of Mr. F. Madan, Bodley's Librarian, Mr. G. W. Wheeler and Mr. J. W. Smallwood of the Radcliffe Camera, Oxford, Sir Walter Raleigh, Lady Scallon, Mr. A. R. Waller, Sir Adolphus Ward, and Sir Herbert Warren. While poetic merit has been, of course, the paramount consideration, I have endeavored to exercise a catholic judgment, and to give fair representation to various schools of thought and expression as well as to the various phases of the War.

Excerpt from Great War: And Other Poems Hail, Hail, the coming of the golden day, Bright vision of the distant past, When warring sons of God shall stay The tide of War, and Peace shall reign at last. Hail, Hail, the vision of the golden years, When they who mourn shall comfort find In One who wipes away all tears, And speaks in words so wonderfully kind. If sons who fought shall ever more inherit (those sons whose eyes were blind with hate) The blessing for the poor in Spirit All shall be well, tho' homes are desolate.
