Poetry Essay In the poem ``Vigil Strange I Kept on the Field one Night ' by Walt Whitman , the author gives his view on what a war is about but does not give any comment or stand about a particular war . He emphasizes the things that may happen or that is really happening in a war . A war could bring strange things such defeat or even worse like death . How a soldier would feel upon losing someone that is very important in his life and on what they must or should do when a worst thing hits them . All things that are unexpected to happen could likely be real in war . Obviously , the setting of the poem is a cold night in a battle-field , where war is on its peak .

But the speaker had no place to show how much he grieves for the lost of his beloved son /comrade /soldier ADDIN EN .CITE WhitmanWalt WhitmanVIGIL STRANGE I KEPT ON THE FIELD ONE NIGHT 1865June 22 2007http /www .poetr y-archive .com /w /vigil_strange_i_kept .html (Whitman . The speaker is brave enough to finally accept the death of the boy that at daybreak he must bury it in the place where he fell and continue to face the morning as a soldier on his own . He still manages to face the reality even though he lost his only source of hope . Despite the fact that it is hard for him to leave alone without the same old person that he used to be with , he still stand on his feet hoping that there will be a new beginning awaiting for him . It 's remarkable how Whitman fits all the words and... |
