Davem,

Does this book say anything about the poem "Sea-bell" in relation to the War?

I remember a thread where we had a discussion about the earlier version of this poem (the one called Looney), and many of us sensed that it reflected the experiences of those returning from World War I -- how young men went home but were totally unable to communicate the bizarre experiences they had had, feeling totally shut off and isolated from those around them.
