lived, they say, happily ever after,
like two dolls in a museum case
never bothered by diapers or dust,
never arguing over the timing of an egg,
never telling the same story twice....”

In his raging,
Charged he hath, this day,
His men of might
In his owne sight
All yonge children to slay.”
—Unknown. Coventry Carol (l. 1015)

Still, you cant listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder.”
—John Dos Passos (18961970)
