“And we talked of girls, and dropping bombs on Rome,Exhorting us to slaughter.”

“I am more and more engrossed with the single poetic theme of Life and Death, for there doesn't seem to be any question more directly relevant than this one of what survives of all the beloved.”

“So we must say Goodbye, my darling,And make an end of lying down together.”

“All this slowness, all this hardness,The gradual self-effacement of the dead.”

“Who is it climbs the summit of the road?And does another thousand start again?”
