A.R.D. Fairburn (1904-1957) was a prominent New Zealand poet, artist, and critic. He is known for his contributions to New Zealand literature and his exploration of themes such as disillusionment, social commentary, and the contrast between idealism and reality. Published in 1930 as part of Fairburn’s collection “He Shall Not Rise,” the poem reflects the poet’s own disillusionment with life and love during that period.
