| Notes | The speaker of this poem describes an unprecedented disaster, which has left the entire earth in ruins. The title deems it to be a kind of inferno. Animals and birds have been wiped out, and the speaker wanders alone over a desolate landscape. The scene is described as 'the last day on earth', and the speaker describes a grim situation, without the possibility of hope of a restoration of the world. This poem was written three years after the Chernobyl disaster, and this may have been the inspiration, although this is not specified in the poem itself. |
