This poem I think that is the most perfect one that to show the process about rebuilt which from messy to clean, from not exist to birth. The author grew up during war age. She was there to witness this historic scene.

From one end of the war to the beginning of a new life, I think about the background of the people of that particular time should be tough.

Scum, ashes, sofa springs, splintered glass, and bloody rags, dead bodies, rusty carriage, destroyed roads and bridges, the author reference with representatives of the characteristics of the times, no doubt creating a solemn atmosphere but with the newborn breath, and use of contrast tactic reference old things to refer to the occurrence of new things, while foreshadowing below to start a new life.

 

Visible the author fully injected the desire of new life into this lovely poem.
