| Paratext Text | (1914-1918, 1939-1945 srl) |
| Notes | This poem details life experience after a time of war and conflict. The paratext indicates that the poet is referring to World War I and World War II. The peaceful childhood of the speaker of the poem is spent in comfort and joy, despite the reality that the bodies of those killed in war haven't even gone cold yet. The idyllic childhood is juxtaposed with the images of the dead of the conflicts. |
