Question

a triumph of surgery who is poem

Answer 1

"Triumph" and "disaster" are two opposite situations of life. One confronts both in his or her life. Both are fleeting in nature as neither of these two lasts forever.  

By "triumph," the poet means moments of success and accomplishment in life, while by "disaster," he implies the time of failure or loss. It’s human nature to celebrate and jubilate at time of success and victory. In a similar way, disaster brings in frustration and despair.
