Poet Wilfred Owen died #OTD in 1918, a week short of the Armistice: this is the statue of him in his home town, Oswestry. Britten used Owen's poetry in his 1962 War Requiem and the following year Owen's brother Harold sent him a manuscript of Wilfred's "Anthem For Doomed Youth" in appreciation.

I’ve written about making art when it feels like the world is ending, about living truthfully in a homophobic world, about the Two Roberts in the 1940s. And a lot of it feels very…now.
"The world is burning. Fascism is rising. Countries are falling. And we’re on the brink of incredible technological change, which will either be the end of everything or a new beginning. So, who needs artists?"
