The speaker dictates, “but most lay like corpses, their coverings coming undone, naked calves hard as corded wood spilling from under a cloak” (Olds Lines 12-15). The beginning of the simile “but most lay like corpses” brings back the idea that all the events happened and that the poem is not just meant to be symbolic. Also it reiterates that death is upon the reader and that the siege caused the tragedies that occurred. The second part of the simile “naked calves hard as corded wood spilling from under a cloak” again is a simile about appearance of the dead. The claves of the dead bodies have gone stiff and no longer are filled with life or the willingness to move.
This metaphor displays his uncertainty as per his crucial part in that moment in time. The soldier pictures himself as the hand on a clock, subject to the inevitable force of a clockwork motor that cannot be slowed or quickend. He realises that he does not really know why he is running and feels “statuary in mid-stride”. However, towards the end of the poem, all moral justifications for the existence of war have become meaningless- “King, honour, human dignity, etcetera Dropped like luxuries in a yelling alarm”, which is extremely dismissive of all the motives people provide for joining the army, explicitly stating that those motives do not justify and do not withstand the war. Disorientation is also highlighted in the line “Stumbling across a field of clods towards a green hedge That dazzled with rifle fire” where the confusion between the natural world and man-made world is expressed.

As the song recurs multiple times throughout Hang’s life it aids to reveal her character development throughout the course of the novel. The song is further used to portray the mood in Vietnam especially significant to Hang and her childhood. The lyrics of the song describing autumn use specific words such as ‘dead’, ‘barren’ and ‘silent’ in order to impart a sense of lifelessness and eeriness, this furthermore establishes a similar tone in Hanoi. The darker and depressing tone caused by this stillness contributes to the underlying sadness present in Hang’s
The poem 's diction keeps emphasizing on death and the horrors of it which is intense. The era that this poem was written in influenced the tone because at that time no matter if the battle is won or lost the soldiers who sacrificed themselves should be honored no matter what, and should be acknowledged. In Mary Borden’s The Song of The Mud, the tone is sarcastic and ironic but still gruesome about war and going into the wars, the title of this poem is a great example of how ironic Mary is about war; in this title the reader would infer “song” is joyful and positive but then “mud” is negative and unpleasant.

The poem aims to glorify soldiers and certain aspects of war, it goes on to prove that in reality there really isn 't good vs bad on the battlefield, it 's just a man who "sees his children smile at him, he hears the bugle call, And only death can stop him now—he 's fighting for them all.", and this is our hidden meaning.
Firstly within the poems, both Owen and Harrison present the horrific images of war through use of visual imagery. “And leaped of purple spurted his thigh” is stated.
