| Notes | The speaker of this poem is a child witnessing his parents arguing. The father's breaking of the 'Dresden China' likely refers to the German city of Dresden, which was heavily bombed during World War II. The last lines of the poem, written in italics, are significant in the understanding of this poem as a war poem. It seems to be a soldier's justification for the acts that were committed in the course of the war against Germany. |
