| Notes | This poem may be referring to the infamous Dunkirk retreat from France during World War II, during which British troops were spirited back to England after the German advance. The reference here to archery could refer to weapons of war, but the allusion to Venus is intriguing. Does it refer to the use of stars for navigation purposes? |
