{{Year nav topic5|1916|poetry|literature}}{{cquote|

We know their dream; enough

To know they dreamed and are dead;

And what if excess of love

Bewildered them till they died?

I write it out in a verse—

MacDonagh and MacBride

And Connolly and Pearse

Now and in time to be,

Wherever green is worn,

Are changed, changed utterly:

A terrible beauty is born.}}—Closing lines of "Easter, 1916" by W. B. Yeats

  • April 24–30 – Easter Rising in Ireland: Members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood proclaim an Irish Republic and the Irish Volunteers and Irish Citizen Army occupy the General Post Office and other buildings in Dublin before surrendering to the British Army. Of the seven leaders of the Rising (subsequently executed), Thomas MacDonagh, Patrick Pearse and Joseph Plunkett are all poets and James Connolly a balladeer. The event is the theme of W. B. Yeats' poem "Easter, 1916", first published this September.
  • July 1
    • First day on the Somme: Poets W. N. Hodgson, Will Streets, Gilbert Waterhouse, Henry Field, Alfred Ratcliffe, Alexander Robertson and Bernard White are among the 19,000 British soldiers killed on this day alone.[3] The Battle of the Somme continues until October 18, during which time American poet Alan Seeger (serving with the French), English poet Edward Wyndham Tennant and short story writer 'Saki' are killed, Robert Graves is seriously wounded (believed killed), David Jones receives physical and psychological injuries, Ford Madox Hueffer suffers concussion and shellshock, A. A. Milne and J. R. R.

    • Romanian poet and critic Perpessicius loses his right arm while fighting in a skirmish at Muratan.[4]
    • By some accounts, the Dada movement in art, poetry and literature coalesces by this date at the cabaret, where Ball, Emmy Hennings, Tristan Tzara, Hans Arp, Richard Huelsenbeck, Sophie Täuber and others discuss art and put on performances expressing their disgust with World War I and the interests they believe inspired it.
  • When Wallace Stevens' job as a lawyer for a New York City insurance company is abolished as a result of mergers, he joins the home office of Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company and moves to Hartford, where he will remain the rest of his life.[5]

From Before Action
by W. N. Hodgson

I, that on my familiar hill

Saw with uncomprehending eyes

A hundred of thy sunsets spill

Their fresh and sanguine sacrifice,

Ere the sun swings his noonday sword

Must say good-bye to all of this; –

By all delights that I shall miss,

Help me to die, O Lord.

And that has made all the difference.

From Chicago
by Carl Sandburg

Hog Butcher for the World,

Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat,

Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler;

Stormy, husky, brawling,

City of the Big Shoulders:


They tell me you are wicked and I believe them, for I have

seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring

the farm boys.

And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: Yes it is

true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again.
