| Notes | The poet-speaker of the poem describes a woman and child who are homeless, seeking refuge, and fleeing from the violence of the husband/father figure. The speaker wonders why hardship is so common, and touches so many lives - before concluding that poets don't have the answer to this question. The title refers to 1971, the 150th anniversary of Napoleon's death. |
