the title of Scars Upon My Heart anthology is taken from a poem written by this English nurse?
Scars Upon My Heart Scars Upon My Heart is a poetry anthology collected by Catherine Reilly which focuses upon poetry written by women during the First World War often from the wives and girlfriends who had loved ones serving in Europe as well as the poems from those who had lost loved ones. Many of the poets were little-known before their publication in the anthology. The title of the anthology is taken from a Vera Brittain poem called "To My Brother" in which she states: ""Your battle wounds are scars upon my heart"". This anthology includes poems such as 'Perhaps' by Vera Brittain.
Lenore (ballad) Lenore, sometimes translated as Leonora, Leonore or Ellenore, is a poem written by German author Gottfried August Bürger in 1773, and published in 1774 in the Göttinger Musenalmanach. Lenore is generally characterised as being part of the 18th century Gothic ballads, and although the character that returns from its grave in the poem is not considered to be a vampire, the poem has been very influential on vampire literature. William Taylor, who published the first English translation of the ballad, would later claim that "no German poem has been so repeatedly translated into English as Ellenore".
