    Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    There was a sound of revelry by night,
    And Belgium’s capital had gathered then
    Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright
    The lamps shone o’er fair women and brave men;
    A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
    Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
    Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
    And all went merry as a marriage-bell;
    But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Living substance conquers the frenzy of destruction only in the ecstasy of procreation.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
