LES GRANDS MUTILES by ROBERT WILLIAM SERVICE

Poet Analysis

First Line: I SAW THREE WOUNDED OF THE WAR
Last Line: AND THIS IS HOW MY FANCIES RUN.
Subject(s): PARIS, FRANCE;
@3I saw three wounded of the war:
And the first had lost his eyes;
And the second went on wheels and had
No legs below the thighs;
And the face of the third was featureless,
And his mouth ran cornerwise,
So I made a rhyme about each one,
And this is how my fancies run.@1
