This poem has amazing images. I think this poem speaks to conditions of the time and coping methods. Difficult times taught many "how" to deal with sadness and grief. If difficulties are the norm, we're used to dealing with them. So when something joyful happens, it throws us for a loop. This poem reminds me in many ways of TS Eliot's "The Waste Land."
