4. The "Lost Generation" defines a sense of moral loss or aimlessness apparent in literary figures during the 1920s. World War I seemed to have destroyed the idea that if you acted virtuously, good things would happen. Many good, young men went to war and died, or returned home either physically or mentally wounded (for most, both), and their faith in the moral guideposts that had earlier given them hope, were no longer valid...they were "Lost."

8. On Receiving News of the War Isaac Rosenberg
Snow is a strange white word. No ice or frost Has asked of bud or bird For Winter's cost.
Yet ice and frost and snow From earth to sky This Summer land doth know. No man knows why.
In all men's hearts it is. Some spirit old Hath turned with malign kiss Our lives to mould.
Red fangs have torn His face. God's blood is shed. He mourns from His lone place His children dead.
O! ancient crimson curse! Corrode, consume. Give back this universe Its pristine bloom.
