MASS

CESAR VALLEJOHe is Peruvian poet , published three books of poems during his life time. He is considered one of the great poetic innovators of the 20th century in any language.

At the end of the battle, the combatant dead , a man approached him And said to him:“ Don’t die;I love you so much!”But the corpse, alas!, kept on dying.

Two more came up to him and repeated:‘Don’t leave us! Be brave! Come back to life!’But the corpse, alas!, kept on dying.

ALLITERATION

Twenty, a hundred,a thousand,five hundred thousand appeared,

SUMMARYIn this poem , at first we see a dead soldier whose cause is deliberately kept hidden. A man approaches the dead man and makes an ardent appeal to him to come back to life and to rejoin the company of the living multitudes. But the corpse kept on dying. Gradually the members gathered and said the same plea. This collective plea brought the man into life.

MESSAGE

The massage that the poem conveys is that only love , fellowship and human solidarity can resurrect dead humanity .
