Project Gutenberg 2006-02-01 Public domain in the USA. 475 Crane, Stephen 1871 1900 Smith, Johnston War is Kind Produced by an anonymous Project Gutenberg volunteer. "War is Kind" by Stephen Crane is a collection of poems written in the late 19th century. The book addresses the human experiences and tragedies associated with war, criticizing the glorification of violence while exploring themes of loss, suffering, and the harsh realities of battle. The work presents a stark contrast between the romanticized notions of warfare and the brutal consequences that come with it. The poems within "War is Kind" are poignant and emotionally charged, depicting a range of characters including soldiers, grieving loved ones, and reflections on the nature of life and death. Through imagery that evokes both beauty and horror, Crane explores the emotional fallout of combat, illustrating how it devastates families and creates lasting pain. The repeated refrain that "war is kind" serves as a bitter irony, emphasizing the senselessness of death and the conflict's lasting impact on the human soul. Through vivid language and haunting themes, Crane invites readers to grapple with the true costs of war, revealing its profound tragedies beneath any facade of glory.
