1. The poem's response to this quote is that death is not sweet, even to die for one's country. The poem is trying to reach out that death is painful, both physically and witnessing it.

Not beauty: blood, cancer, drowning, fatigue, poison, sludge, slow and painful.
No elements of beauty in this poem
3. The comparisons of these lines contribute to the poem by realizing the vision of this certain death to a death that is unimaginable.
4. The poem gains emotion. The past tense is recalling this certain memory, to the present where it is still fresh in the narrator's mind as if it were yesterday.
