Paul Simon’s The Sound of Silence A poem‚ like all other works of art‚ may appear as an inter-subjective truth‚ an intricate thread of images‚ a surreal yet realistic expression‚ and as a "creative fact" according to Virginia Woolf.

He was killed upon the western front in France on the first of April 1918. He was twenty years old. I believe that Rosenberg was trying to tell us that the soldiers that had sacrificed their lives in the name of duty were not getting the respect that they deserved.
