Reading comprehension
Rupert Brooke is dead. A telegram from the Admiral at Lemnos tells us that this life has closed
at the moment when it seemed to have reached its springtime. A voice had become audible,
a note had been struck, more true, more thrilling, more able to do justice to the nobility of
our youth in arms engaged in this present war, than any other more able to express their
thoughts of self-surrender, and with a power to carry comfort to those who watch them so
intently from afar. The voice has been swiftly stilled. Only the echoes and the memory remain;
but they will linger.

During the last few months of his life, months of preparation in gallant comradeship and open
air, the poet-soldier told with all the simple force of genius the sorrow of youth about to die,
and the sure triumphant consolations of a sincere and valiant spirit. He expected to die: he
was willing to die for the dear England whose beauty and majesty he knew: and he advanced
towards the brink in perfect serenity, with absolute conviction of the rightness of his country's
cause and a heart devoid of hate for fellow-men.

The thoughts to which he gave expression in the very few incomparable war sonnets which
he has left behind will be shared by many thousands of young men moving resolutely and
blithely forward in this, the hardest, the cruellest, and the least-rewarded of all the wars that
men have fought. They are a whole history and revelation of Rupert Brooke himself. Joyous,
fearless, versatile, deeply instructed, with classic symmetry of mind and body, ruled by high
undoubting purpose, he was all that one would wish England's noblest sons to be in the days
when no sacrifice but the most precious is acceptable, and the most precious is that which is
most freely proffered.
