Talk:Anthem for Doomed Youth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think the poem is about the futility of war

The title shows this very clearly

Great title, isn't it?

[edit] cattle?

Cattle- as a word, isn't onomatopoeia. The definition of onomatopoeia is that the word expresses the essence of the sound that it is describing, ie, 'ping', 'bang' etc. Cattle rhymes with rattle. It isn't onomatopoeia, so I've amended the article. Titanium geek 05:08, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

magnificent poetry from our beloved Wilfred

[edit] 10,000 Maniacs

i dno Does anyone else find the 10,000 maniacs reference banal and slightly offensive? Wikipedia has a lot of these links between established, well-respected works and derivative works in popular culture. I think in this case it is not a notable link, unless a few more similar ones can be found to form a "References in popular culture and derivative works" section.

[edit] what's the new coming?

this is one of the poem that makes the youth of today think hard about their future. please write us some many poems about wars cause it really make us interesting in it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.134.25.147 (talk) 20:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Derivative works

Would link to Wikipedia article on Benjamin Britten's War Requiem be appropriate. [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.184.64.242 (talk) 10:14, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
