The verb ‘ache’ from this evidence also tells us that war is a painful and agonising idea.
Further on in the text, it states in each of Owen’s eight stanzas ends with a short half line. In the first, third, fourth and final verses Owen creates the burden: ‘But nothing happens’. Each of the short, last lines in the remaining stanzas has a story of its own to tell.
