Quote #4
It was reported their singing resembled
the flight of moths in moonlight. (28-29)
Here is the only mention in the entire poem of a lasting piece of their culture. While in actuality, Vietnamese culture and art haven't been wiped out, in the poem they have. So this mention of singing is really all the speakers have to go by. What "moths in moonlight" sound like is up for debate, but we can be sure it is a gentle, delicate sound.
