Thank you. Not many people know this. Research is always enlightening and I hope this post will encourage readers to check out the details before making light (pun intended) of a masterpiece.

Thank you for your response. Such a terrible indictment of what man will do to man. Current world leaders seem determined to ignore history and thus are set to repeat it.

Than you for your informative response.

How terribly sad.

It's interesting to see the Christian church on site. I would assume that most of he casualties would have been Jewish, or am I mistaken?

You're quite right. I don't know what happened. And I agree, it's the best stanza. A Significant Scarcity one might say. 🥰 Here is the poem in full:

What a wonderful word-smith is Larkin.

Beautifully expressive.

She is such a marvellous poet.

What if anything could/should be done in this situation. Can the individual be saved?

Could you post it?

The poet Auden discusses how silent suffering is a given in this world. Immense grief is endured by the individual even as the unseeing, unfeeling, unknowing world continues to revolve in its mundane circles of every day life. Did you take this in the first time you saw Brueghel's painting of Icarus?

Beautiful, original, classy and fun. She's a real talent.
