The aspects of sacrifice and victimization are particularly evident in the metaphorical connection created between the soldiers (in brown uniforms) and the animals (in the word "flock"), thereby shaming the "wild beast of battle." This connection also expresses the grotesque; for the combination of the abstract souls of the dead and the actual mutilation of their bodies emphasizes the physical, frightening ugliness of the phrase "the eyeless dead." Despite this, however, the speaker finds comfort in the salutatory address by the figure of "Death" to the soldiers' bravery.
