"Flying is the only active profession I would ever continue with enthusiasm after the War"

Wilfred Owen was a British soldier and poet who served in World War I. This quote is from a letter he wrote to his mother in 1918. In the letter, he reveals his enthusiasm for flying, which he had just recently taken up as a profession. He mentions that flying is the just active profession he would continue with enthusiasm after the war. This recommends that he found flying to be a rewarding and satisfying experience, and that he was eagerly anticipating pursuing it further. It also suggests that he was not as passionate about other professions, and that he was uncertain what he would do after the war. This quote shows Owen's gratitude for the freedom and excitement of flying, and his desire to continue it even after the war had ended.
