    Always West-Northwest ...

    The war was a mirror; it reflected man’s every virtue and every vice, and if you looked closely, like an artist at his drawings, it showed up both with unusual clarity.
    George Grosz (1893–1959)

    a meek humble Man of modest sense,
    Who preaching peace does practice continence;
    Whose pious life’s a proof he does believe,
    Mysterious truths, which no Man can conceive.
