Document Summary
Enjambment: (sentence continues on into the next line) the words flow in an almost music-like way. Caesura: (a break in the middle of the line) with hurting love, the music that they wrote. recues the musicality/art aspect, but adds a marching, army type beat. Suggests that war is interrupting art and music- everything takes backseat when war is present. Euphony: (tone) words that make the text pleasant and harmonious. Assonance (the repetition of vowel sounds to making an almost rhyming-like scheme), consonance: repetitive sounds produced by consonants within a sentence or phrase. War"s insertion of violence in art and its emotional harm on the local society or culture, the larger social impact. This poem was written after world war ii, so it is important to understand that the interpretive community at this time would have thought of the poem this way.
