Exercise 69.
The message of the first poem could be explained as follows: The
young soldier knew that he was risking his life in Northern Ireland and
could be easily killed, and wanted to comfort his parents in case it might
happen. The person who wrote the poem could have sincerely believed
that all the things in the world were connected and that people’s souls
do not perish when people die. The second piece of poetry emphasises
the idea that a name is not the most significant thing in a person, it is
far less important than the personality itself. Notice that this idea was
really advanced in Shakespearean times, but even nowadays it sounds
quite up-to-date.
