<< Interesting use of contrast in this poem. Unfortunately, it is an ordinary
day in today's world, but maybe one should remember yesterday and the fall of
the Roman Empire, too. Civilization being overrun by barbaric hoards. That
civilization too had grown effete and soft, and perhaps they sipped wine that
morning instead of coffee when Vesuvius rained down the first ashes. Good
poem.
