a requiem for the twentieth century
“So the curtain fell, over that tortured country of unmarked graves and unburied fragments of men: Murder and massacre: The innocent slaughtered for the guilty: The poor man for the sake of the rich: The man of no authority made the victim of the man who had gathered importance and wished to keep it.”
—David Starret, 9th Royal Irish Rifles, Irish Peace Park, Messines, Belgium
