(New to) Great Regulars: In the poem A Reunion,

which has surfaced in a private collection, [Siegfried] Sassoon shows a prescience about the onset of the cold war with the line:

While the face of youth
dissolved and went
I heard the drone of
endless armament.

from Olivia Cole: The Sunday Times: Bomb shocked Sassoon into late burst of poetry
