| Notes | No explicit reference to war, but hinted at in a number of phrases that evoke an oppressive and terror-filled atmosphere. The reference to April in the title of the poem, described as 'the cruellest month', could be understood as a reference to the Siege of Saravejo (5 April 1992 - 29 February 1996), the longest siege of a capital city in modern warfare. |
