The quote from Wisława Szymborska's poem suggests the ongoing consequences of conflict, emphasizing the notion that war creates a burden that must be addressed after the battles have ceased. It implies the unrecognized efforts of those involved in post-war recovery, who deal with the aftermath of destruction and loss.
Szymborska invites readers to reflect on the human cost of war, beyond the immediate violence. The cleanup symbolizes the need for healing and rebuilding, underscoring the importance of acknowledging those who work tirelessly to restore peace and order in a world scarred by conflict.
