Some of the poems appeared in a privately printed pamphlets "Night and Day", published in 1912, and "Youth" published in 1915. "Moses A Play" was originally published in 1916, completing the works published in the author's lifetime. [Taken from the Bibliographical Note] ***'Youth is still childhood: when we cast off every cloudy venture, and our thoughts are clear and mature; when every act is a conscious thought, every thought an attempt to arrest feeling; our feelings strong and overwhelming, our sensitiveness awakened by insignificant things in life; when the skies race tumultuously with our blood, and the earth shines and laughs; when our blood hangs suspended at the rustling of a gown. Our vanity loves to subdue--battle, aggressive. How we despise those older and duller--we want life, newness, excitement. (Isaac Rosenberg, circa 1916) ***'Isaac Rosenberg (25 Nov 1890 - 1 Apr 1918) was an English poet and artist. His "Poems from the Trenches" are recognized as some of the most outstanding poetry written during the First World War. On 21 Mar 1918, the German Army started its Spring Offensive on the Western Front. A week later, Rosenberg sent his last letter with a poem "Through These Pale Cold Days" to England before going to the front lines with reinforcements. Having just finished a night patrol, he was killed on the night of 1 Apr 1918 with another ten KORL soldiers; there is a dispute as to whether his death occurred at the hands of a sniper or in close combat.
