Blog numero tres "Grass"

 Sandburg is a poet who likes to include a subject when he writes about his poems.  He demonstrates this in  "Grass" which is about time and how it is a constant anomaly that will never cease to stop.  Time is something that is constantly flowing and Sandburg makes the figure of grass represent the passage of time.  The poem is also stating that time does not stop and the world keeps turning after traumatizing and dramatic events like death.  Even though one has passed on to the next life, the grass and people still grow and the past is left behind, leaving many wondering about the distant times humanity once had .  One thing that Sandburg liked to do is make many allusion to great clashes in history such as the battle of  Waterloo and Gettysburg.  These battles were fought in various places around the world and are destinations  where many men lost their lives for their country or beliefs.  The allusion of these battles helps support the theme of time and death and clarifying that only time will heal past battle scars.
