This would have been a lady from an upper class background, who had maids to do everything for her since childhood. She was offering to lower herself to cleaning the Abbey in exchange for protection from the bombs during the Blitz. The Eternal Safety Zone is the belief that holy ground would be protected from danger.

the eternal safety zone is refering to heaven, it shows her crude view of religion and that she has no real spiritual or real religious worship, its all about striking deals with God, who she deems is below her, and who she has the authority to 'pardon'

No, I don't think Eternal Safety Zone is a quotation. I think it just means that the woman prays to God for success in the war while she's in safety. That shows that she's hypocritical, like the rest of the poem does.

I would be more than happy if someone could tell me if Eternal Saftey Zone is a quotation of some kind.
