Charm

by Rupert Brooke

Rupert Brooke's poetry, particularly his collection "1914 and Other Poems," explores themes of love, youth, beauty, and sacrifice, often through the lens of his experiences during World War I. His poems, infused with a romanticized vision of war, captured the early idealism of the conflict and its impact on a generation. Despite his tragic death in 1915, Brooke's work continues to resonate with its poignant portrayal of human emotions and the fleeting nature of life.
