Tuppence only, step in and see!”

DaniilM [7]

It can be inferred that Wislawa Szymborska titled her poem "The End and The Beginning" because:

"Wars always bring a lot of things to an end such as life, relationships, peace, and prosperity. But then after wars, there is a chance at new beginnings to rebuild that which has been destroyed."
