Reflection: "The Charge of the Light Brigade" and "Flower in the Crannied Wall"

These two poems of Tennyson. "The Charge of the Light Brigade" tells the story of a group of soliders who are directed to charge into battle. They ride in and fight but many are killed. They had died honorable deaths. The bigger message of this poem is that war is bad. Soldiers are asked to fight and die just because that is what they are asked to do. One line reads "Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die." Soldiers are supposed to obey their command, not to stop or think about what they are being asked to do.The second poem "Flowers in the Crannied Wall" is a bit more difficult to interpret. I think maybe its showing how the relationship between this flower and man is like man and god. The flower was able to come to life out of nothing, a cranny in a wall. I guess that like how life was created out of nothing. Then man is able to kill the flower just by plucking it out of the wall. God is said to have the same power in the life of man. In that way, understanding the relationship between himself and the flower the poet is able to somewhat understand man's relationship with god.
