    “One difference between Nazi and Soviet camps was that in the latter dying was a slower process.”
    —Terrence Des Pres (1939–1987)

    “There is sweet music here that softer falls
    Than petals from blown roses on the grass,
    Or night-dews on still waters between walls
    Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass;
    Music that gentlier on the spirit lies,
    Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes;
    Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
