Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker imagines ordinary concerns eventually taking over again, making the war feel distant or almost unreal. Being 'swallowed up' gives that return to everyday life a force of its own. The reassurance rests on a prediction about how experience may recede with time.
