| Notes | The speaker of the poem describes the loss of comfort and innocence as a result of the 'Great War' - likely here to be in reference to World War I. The lives of the unnamed people in the poem are about to be utterly altered by World War I, yet they still live in comfort in their large Georgian houses. However, the war, and the huge guns of Europe, will soon put an end to their days of luxury and fantasy. The location is not specified in the poem, but the reference to 'Georgian' homes implies that the poem is set in Ireland or England. |
