Also the comma in that quote again leaves a small gap between, (“In the old times”) and (“before he threw away his knees”) which again stresses the gap and again increases the anti-climax. He also uses a hyphen here, “He thought he’d better join – He wonders why.” (Line 24) Again Owen is creating an anti-climax but he is trying to stress the fact that the veteran feels as if he lost his limbs for nothing and he’s wasted his life for nothing, just a stupid mistake. “For it was younger than…

This poem dramatizes the conflict between dying easily and fighting to live. Thomas wrote this poem for his father who was dying from pneumonia. We see from this poem that often people regret not being as good as they should be, and so they fight to continue living, they “rage, rage against the dying of the light.” (line 3) This shows us that we may be in the same place as those men mentioned in the poem, the : “wise” (4), “good” (7), “wild” (10), and “grave” (13).

“scraping” and “creeping;” “hither,” “thither,” and “wither;” and “treason” and “reason.” These examples of consonance emphasize these words and add to the overall dreary mood of the poem. True to the fashion of a typical lyric poem, the ABCBDB rhyme scheme creates a very melodic rhythm that parallels both the nature of the leaves and the travels of the speaker.
