LUSITANIA by ISAAC ROSENBERG

Poet Analysis

First Line: CHAOS! THAT COINCIDES WITH THIS MILITANT PURPOSE
Last Line: GERMANY'S GIFT — ALL EARTH THEY WOULD GIVE THEE, CHAOS.
Subject(s): LUSITANIA (SHIP);
Chaos! that coincides with this militant purpose.
Chaos! the heart of this earnest malignancy.
Chaos! that helps, chaos that gives to shatter
Mind-wrought, mind-unimagining energies
For topless ill, of dynamite and iron.
Soulless logic, inventive enginery.
Now you have got the peace-faring @3Lusitania@1,
Germany's gift — all earth they would give thee, Chaos.
