theme of his poem.
He imagines himself one Of them in the

You will notice that in that last stanza
this poem gets to the great point that
made US include 1.-THE fact that war,
death, all of these terrible things that
enter into the history of the human race
do not concern just the individual who is
the center Of the story. 1t isn't just the
question of one more dead man, of one
more man who has given up his life in
order that somebody else may climb TO
eminence. II is question Of the suffer-
ing of these innocent individuals because
somebody has Numbered. because some
diplomat hasn't been clear enough to see
his way from tangle. That is the thing
that counts in war and had finally to be
considered in it, and that is what MIR.
