| Notes | In this poem, as well as his other fictional writing, Warren expresses feelings of defeat and disillusion over the idea of the American Dream. He is critical of the "secular optimism" that had shaped America pre-Civil War and, in this poem, expresses "a resigned awareness of man's fallen nature." |
