| Notes | The poem's context is very personal, but it also addresses wider questions of the relationship between art and suffering. There are references to individual violent events, e.g. the Battle of Chickamauga in the American Civil War, and the assassination by the IRA of The Earl Mountbatten of Burma, a British statesman and colonial administrator. First published in The Annals of Chile (1994). |
