I hope you can answer a question that has been driving me crazy. Was the chapter "The Death of Walter Bernd" inspired by W.S. Merwin's poem "Yesterday"? Like a literary easter egg of some sort? I have searched the internet for the answer since I read "All the Light We Cannot See" in 2016. I don't really like poetry and "Yesterday" is the only poem that has ever moved me in a meaningful way. To find the only poem I have ever loved in a book I love very much is incredible to me. I hope you can share your thoughts on this.
Thank you,
Natalie
