10. Notice the contrasting language describing the body of his brother. Line 15: “ With the corpse, stanched and bandaged by the nurses.” Lines 16 - 21 “ Next morning I went up into the room. Snowdrops And candles soothed the bedside; I saw him For the first time in six weeks. Paler now, Wearing a poppy bruise on his left temple, He lay in the four foot box as in his cot. No gaudy scars, the bumper knocked him clear.” ‘ Mid-Term Break’ by Seamus Heaney
