The third and last edition of "The Owl" was published post WWI in 1923. With in their final issue the editors Robert Graves and William Nicholson produced an issue which addressed drawings of male figures and God's presence in nature. With in the fist few pages the reader is introduced to a large headed male figure http://dl.lib.brown.edu/jpegs/1174311795437500.jpg titles "Swinburn on Blotting Paper by Perlligrini on page 5. The man seems to be quite depressed and unsure of his thoughts. The male is figure is walking with in a grassy area but his body language is twisted as if he was indecisive wither to continue on his path or turn around. Another male figure seen with in the issue is on page 18 titled "Mr. Belloc" http://dl.lib.brown. ... pageturner&pageno=27 by John Doyl. The "Mr Belloc" seems to be sitting in a chair with his ankles crossed towards his right side while his hands were interlocked laying on his lamp. The character in the drawing seems to have a timid expression waiting patiently for something to happen. Both characters body language and expressions can be perceived as the feeling people had after the initial shock of the end of the war. The first image was the uncertainty if the war was truly over while the second image was the was waiting to see what was next to come of the war. Both male figures have a more relaxed but concerned expressions. The aftermath of the war left all sided unease and inewaiting for the next moved from their opponents when trying to finalized the treaties which would soon be broken once again.
With in the poem "Knowledge of God" http://dl.lib.brown.edu/jpegs/1174312776203125.jpg on page 59 the narrator addresses the sense of God and is he or is he not all powerful and all surrounding. With in the first stanza of the poem the speaker questions who believes they have experienced God in their surrounding or in their dream if he was truly their of a figure o imaginations. He then goes on to question id he is infinite and is he actually there with in all time and space. "To time and space they add their sum But how is Godhead there?" The nature of god is questioned with the lose of fate with in his almighty being. The narrator questions not only his existence but his creations as well. The myth that god is all knowing and all surrounding is lost and he claims one should continue on with life with out depending on gods help. Another poem addressing the same issue of Gods worth in nature was in "First Rhymes: http://dl.lib.brown.edu/jpegs/1174312216734375.jpg on page 26 by Edmund Blunden. The narrator is in a mill when he notices a blackbird’s and the death of nature. The sound of the hushed bird and the meadow dying leaves him aloe alone in his trails. The subject of life and death is addressed but the scene of nature dying before the narrator’s eye. He I uncertain what to make of it but only has his memories of what once was to make him happy in the end. Nature is had an everlasting cycle or recreation and death. Like in "Knowledge of God" the narrator is unable to grasp the concept of worth of life. The feeling of devastation and grief is portrayed within poems and drawings. The uncertainty of the characters within each work shows the reality of the war and the affects it had on the many individuals.
