:11:13. > :11:18.coming forward. It is causing a lot of concern. And people need to be
:11:19. > :11:21.aware that this outbreak can be controlled. An intensified effort is

:18:49. > :18:57.I was looking through today, it is just stunning. You feel so close to
:18:58. > :19:02.Sassoon and the moments when he was writing all this down. That's right,
:19:03. > :19:07.the virtue of a digitised project is that it gives us images of the pages
:19:08. > :19:13.themselves. So we are not reading a printed version, we're looking at
:19:14. > :19:17.high-definition photographs. You can zoom in on them. Sassoon was writing
:19:18. > :19:23.in very small journals, which he had to keep his writing in. Sometimes,
:19:24. > :19:29.he would write in pencil and then rub out and go over it in ink. With
:19:30. > :19:38.these images, you can examine the writing even more closely. What did
:19:39. > :19:48.you learn, that was new about Siegfried Sassoon? From handling the
:19:49. > :19:53.original documents, you learn that they show how he combined his roles
:19:54. > :19:57.as soldier and poet, because he was a creative artist, first and
:19:58. > :20:02.foremost a writer, he had been writing before the war, and his
:20:03. > :20:07.life's work was to turn his experience into words. But he was
:20:08. > :20:13.also in charge of men in battle. So he had to combine those roles and
:20:14. > :20:18.with the journals, you get extra of different types of writing. You have
:20:19. > :20:21.one page a diary entry, you turn the page and you have the first draft of
:20:22. > :20:26.the poem perhaps dealing with the same experience as the diary. The
:20:27. > :20:31.about. Turn the page again and you get a list of his troops. Although
:20:32. > :20:37.he used his diaries from both ends, and you cannot be sure that there is
:20:38. > :20:42.a sequential in time between one page or another, the variety of
:20:43. > :20:47.material shows you how he experienced the war as it was coming
:20:48. > :20:53.past him. I was interested to see that the first draft of one of his
:20:54. > :20:58.most famous poems and what he chose to take out of that before it was
:20:59. > :21:05.published. It is a fascinating one, from a volume that was given to
:21:06. > :21:09.him, he was using it to write fair copies of his poems. He would write
:21:10. > :21:15.it out in his best handwriting in that book. With that page, you see
:21:16. > :21:19.four mines which he has scored through heavily and put in the
:21:20. > :21:22.margin, cut this out. It makes the poem more effective because
:21:23. > :21:29.margin, cut this out. It makes the two lines of the published version,
:21:30. > :21:35.you are too young to fall asleep forever, it is a powerful. The lines
:21:36. > :21:37.he has cut out are really rather poetically ineffective
:21:38. > :21:39.he has cut out are really rather excising them, he has come
:21:40. > :21:42.he has cut out are really rather better piece of work. Although
:21:43. > :21:43.sometimes when we talk about Sassoon taking things out of his poems, we
:21:44. > :21:49.think taking things out of his poems, we
:21:50. > :21:51.censorship, but in fact like any other creative artist, he
:21:52. > :21:55.censorship, but in fact like any to make as good a piece of work as

:23:27. > :23:32.the cease-fire being in operation for such a short period of time,
:23:33. > :23:38.somehow, the flames have to be calmed down. This situation has to

:25:52. > :25:56.Tony on Thursday and I spoke to him in Jerusalem. But let me just say

:26:04. > :26:09.hope he does it well. What I do, I do, and I hope I do that well. So,
:26:10. > :26:14.it is not for me to decide what Tony Blair now does or does not do. He

:26:25. > :26:32.where he spends his time. Thank you very much for joining us.
:26:33. > :26:35.That is our main story. The cease-fire which was brokered
