Ludvigston's "Inventing My Parents" alludes to Donne's "Canonization".
"As they go out the door, he's reciting Donne's "Canonization": "For God's sake hold your tongue, and let me love".
Donne's Canonization is a love poem, but in the second stanzas it discusses a man's past, and how that will influence his path in the future.  "A soldier will always find wars" is used to explain how the narrator will always find his love again, because that's where he believes he came from. But it is important to note that Ludvigson alluded to this poem because she is not in support of the war. The only thing Canonization is in support of is this love discussed excessively through the poem.  The world had no time to hate, only time to love.  It is almost apparent that it is a woman's point of view, and that the war not only had a negative impact on the men fighting, but the women at home working hard to fill in for the missing men.
