her. She writhed in despair. Time
moved slowly. The clock licked
agonies. The air was thick with
groans, Motherhood bore slaves. The
cradle was a coffin. Feast days were
celebrated by massacres. Cars from
Ivan the Terrible, 1914, to Nicholas,

in 1913, used the bodies and souls of
human beings as manure to fertilize

monotony and drudgery of the tramp
