Talk:Strange Meeting (Sassoon edition)

this is a great poem

I think there's a line missing (missing in the 1920 edition, too). Its omission upsets the rhyme scheme, so I suspect a bowdlerization or a misprint. The line is:

"By his dead smile I knew we stood in Hell" --122.107.141.58 23:39, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Have you access to a version that has the line in it? If we can get a scan of that version, we can add it to Commons, with source data and put them together and have the conversation, via a {{versions}} page. We are happy to have multiple copies of the same work, we just need to have them sourced. — billinghurst sDrewth 03:07, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

The 1920 edition of Owen's poetry is almost certainly the only authoritative printed version that is out of copyright. The next one I can find is the 1931 edition of Owen's poetry which presumably has a presentation copyright so couldn't be uploaded. But here's the poem in the 1931 edition on book preview on Amazon, with the line: [2]--Longfellow (talk) 21:46, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
