Dead leaves, a dying tree;
silent in a tattered hat,
pausing in his quiet task,
reading poems of T.E. Hulme.

T.E. Hulme (1883 - 1917) heavily influenced Imagist poetry and modernism in the early twentieth century. One of the zeitgeist, only six of his poems were published during his short life. Killed in battle near Flanders in 1917, he is buried in the Koksijde Military Cemetery, Belgium.
His headstone carries the inscription: “One of the War Poets”.
