- Siegfried Sassoon

About this Quote

This quote by Siegfried Sassoon speaks with the severe reality of war and the sacrifices that soldiers make. It paints a bleak picture of soldiers as people of death's grey land, recommending that they are living in a world of death and destruction. The quote also suggests that soldiers are unable to enjoy the same high-ends as other citizens, as they are unable to take advantage of the promise of a better tomorrow. Rather, they are stuck in a continuous state of war, without any end in sight. This quote serves as a tip of the sacrifices that soldiers make in order to protect their countries and the liberties that they enjoy. It is a powerful suggestion of the nerve and strength of soldiers, and the ultimate cost that they spend for our security.
