Wars, wars, wars': reading up on the region I came across one moment when quintessential Englishness had in fact intersected with this darkling plain. In 1906 Winston Churchill, then the minister responsible for British colonies, had been honored by an invitation from Kaiser Wilhelm II to attend the annual maneuvers of the Imperial German Army, held at Breslau. The Kaiser was 'resplendent in the uniform of the White Silesian Cuirassiers' and his massed and regimented infantry.. Strange to find Winston Churchill and Sylvia Plath both choosing the word 'roller, ' in both its juggernaut and wavelike declensions, for that scene. . Christopher Hitchens
About This Quote

War is a big deal. It's a large topic of discussion among the people all over the world. There are so many wars going on nowadays. Wars can have a huge impact on the people of the world.

In his poem, "The War," William Butler Yeats uses roller as symbol of war, which is a great way to describe the feeling of war. Roller refers to a mass of people who are marching or moving in a single direction with one goal or objective. This definition can be applied to any sort of movement or movement in general.

For example, the phrase "roller coaster" refers to a roller coaster is where people ride and they go up and down and sometimes they enjoy themselves and sometimes they do not like it and it is also an expression for something that is fun and enjoyable or exciting that does not last for very long.
