A man looking back at his childhood; he remember an event that made him realize that he had not treated as father with as much love and respect as the father deserved. But instead of allowing himself to wallow in guilt and self-recrimination, he offers a question that puts his attitude in proper perspective: he just did know any better. If he had known better, he could have done better.
A simile is a comparison with "like" or "as". For example, love is like a rose. In the poem Those Winter Sundays there are no similes what so ever. If looking closely at the text, the words "like" or "as" are not even written - thus canceling out the option of a simile. There is, however, a metaphor (which is like the brother of a simile.) Again a metaphor is a comparison between to things, but without "like" or "as". For example, school is prison. The metaphor in this poem would refer to the coldness of winter compared to the bitterness of the father and son relationship.
