The line alluded by David Brain “<em>Only we, their children, linger to endure the world they left us: a lush, green placid world we call The Wasteland.</em>” <em>simply means that, those who were young when the war happened were left to live in the carcas of the environment that remained in the world after its destruction.</em>
