Their minds are tired and the east wind is attacking them
“Our brains ache, in the merciless iced east winds that knive us…”
No events occur
“But nothing happens”
Drems lost and looking snow-dazed
“forgotten dreams, and stare, snow-dazed”
They believe they won’t die
“we turn back to our dying”
Sudden action of bullets break silence
“sudden successive flights of bullets streak the silence”
