Teichoskopia: Female Figures Looking on Battles

Abstract

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori: mors et fugacem persequitur virum ... The boy must be toughened by hard campaigning an learn to endure poverty happily, riding against fierce Parthians, spreading terror with his sword, and living in danger under open sky. When the mother of a warring king and the maiden grown to womanhood gaze at him from the walls of the enemy city, let them sigh their sighs from the royal bridegroom new to the ranks, in case he rouse the lion it is death to touch, whose anger whirls him in blood through the thick of slaughter. Sweet it is and honourable to die for one’s native land. Death hunts down even the man who runs away ... (transl. West [2002])
