The Boxer of Quirinal Summary

The Boxer of Quirinal by John Barr

All animals struggle to survive. In John Barr's poems the success of the heron hunting, the albatross breeding, the inchworm spinning give proof of life. But for us that struggle includes the eternal presence of war. Does the fall of Rome, the Battle of Shiloh, the Normandy Landings--and today's wars-give proof of life or only of the struggle?
