This essay was inspired by Wilfred Owen's poem, "Strange meeting". Wilfred Owen is considered the greatest English poet of the First World War. In his previously mentioned poem, he dramatically narrates the "strange meeting" between two soldiers in hell. Adopting the concepts of "pity" and "truth" as symbols of his own crusade, the poet, in his brief life, devoted himself to express his outrage at the futility of war. In a similar way, in his autobiographies, the psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion wrote about his emotional learning acquired from the war, and particularly about the feeling of being transformed into a ghost who was haunted by the guilt for not being dead as most of his fellows. In this work, the author imagines a strange meeting between Bion's ghost and Owen's soul, as a parody of Owen's poem.

Palabras clave : pity; truth; futility of the war; strange meeting.
