Il have lain down fiat on the

Thus. one day. before the

that is most often with me is
Paris at night: No lights any

burned or eaten. Shells arching
and screaming continually. Fires
break out where they fall. Down
the street come long lines of sol
diers. carrying torchlights. They
are bearing away the wounded. the
dying and the dead.
