In a V A D pantry - Alberta Vickridge

Pots in piles of blue and white,
Old in service, cracked and chipped--
While the bare-armed girls tonight
Rinse and dry, with trivial-lipped
Mirth, and jests, and giggling chatter,
In this maze of curls and clatter
Is there no one sees in you
More than common white and blue?

When the potter trimmed your clay's
Sodden mass to his desire--
Washed you in the viscid glaze
That is clarified by fire--
When he sold your sort in lots,
Reckoning such as common pots--
Did he not at times foresee
Sorrow in your destiny?

Lips of fever, parched for drink
From this vessel seek relief
Ah, so often, that I think
Many a sad Last Supper's grief
Haunts it still-- that they who died,
In man's quarrel crucified,
Shed a nimbus strange and pale
Round about this humble Grail.

  1. In this poem it is mentioned that no one views the VAD nurses as 'more than common white and blue' which could convey how in the time of the war, nobody looked past the uniforms and simply viewed the nurses as help for the injured soldiers who were fighting for their country. Also in the last line of the poem Vickridge made of use juxtapostion when describing the 'humble Grail'; these words contradict each other as by saying the pantry was humble could convey that it wasn't very important, however by proceeding to add on the word 'Grail', one could then assert that the pantry was in fact very important and a sought-after place.

    1. I feel the poem also uses the technique of alliteration and assonance repetitively starting with 'pots in piles' to 'curls and clatter'.

      I agree with you, that people may of been dictated by their uniform as officers would wear the best compared to their soldiers in hierachy.

      The effect for the use of juxtaposition could be that the writer is confused or split between if she finds war a comfort, and if 'humble'is the right word, as war is commonly meant to create peace or announce what needs to be changed.

  5. a lot of scammers have infiltrated the online space as it is becoming increasingly hard to hire a hacker.
    i had to take the risk of using thor browser to surf the dark web via duckduckgo before i was able to come in contact
    with vladimir kolarov of thehackerspro.com who eventually helped me to infiltrate my wifes phone, while we couldnt find anything incriminating he went ahead to hack her work database and it was there we found out shes been cheating with her boss but they only communicate through her office email. shameful.
