The document discusses the English poet A.E. Housman and analyzes his poem "Twice a Week the Winter Thorough". It provides background on Housman, noting he was a classical scholar and poet best known for his collection of poems titled "A Shropshire Lad". The poem refers to playing football in the winter and cricket in the spring as a way to distract from sorrow and try to find happiness, recognizing how fragile life is.
"To An Athlete Dying Young" is a poem in A.E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad (1896). It is perhaps one of the most well-known poems pertaining to early death; in this case, that of a young man at the height of his physical glory.
Published in the period between the two Boer Wars, the poem gained even more popularity during World War I, as many saw it as a poignant lament for the lost generation of so many bright, young men, cut down in their prime.

6. Twice a week the winter thorough
Here stood I to keep the goal:
Football then was fighting sorrow
For the young man’s soul.
Now in Maytime to the wicket
Out I march with bat and pad:
See the son of grief at cricket
Trying to be glad.
Try I will; no harm in trying:
Wonder ’tis how little mirth
Keeps the bones of man from lying
On the bed of earth.
Twice a week the winter thorough
