The title refers to a comment made by the German Chancellor ( Hitler) and aimed at European isolationists. The lines of the poem were " written in Passion and in Deep Concern for England, France and My Own Country" ( America) This poem " ... has been written and printed with no royalties for the author and no profit for the publisher... all proceeds will be turned over to an established war relief agency." This poem may be Millay's most passionate political work. Very fine collectible and thought provoking work.
