“There seemed to be nothing left in the world, for I felt that Roland had taken with him all my future and Edward all my past.” - Vera Brittain

SUMMARY

to make everything slightly easier i have summarized all the information from the other posts into one condensed summary post which will also work as a sort of conclusion. 

the main things that you need to know to understand this poem are:
- it was written by a woman after WW1
- she lost her fiance during the war
- it was written 9 years later
- each stanza represents a particular season which symbolizes the passing of time
- WW1 went from 1914-18

i hope you found this blog useful for whatever assessment you may need it for :D
