This poem seems a little uneasy. Leda and the Swan is basically talking a bout a girl, Leda, getting raped by a swan but is so caught up in the moment. She doesn't know how to push him off because she's terrified. When researching the poem, it says it comes from Greek mythology and the swan is actually Zues in disguise. I'm not sure what it means by Agamemnon is dead, but it does mentions brute blood in the air. This could mean there is a war or something happening in this time or soon will. This would be kind of a hard concept to understand in the poem unless you research it a little bit after or before it. It makes more sense after you research it and allows you to understand it more.
