| Notes | The speaker of this poem describes the eventual fate of swans and insects, who have the power of flight but will one day be grounded by death. Similarly, the speaker conjures an image of young airmen, about to fly off into an unspecified war to fight enemy pilots. She wonders if they were aware of their fate, if they experienced panic falling out of the sky in the frenzy of war. |
