All has been looted, betrayed, sold; black death’s wing flashed ahead Picture Quote #1

There is a sacred, secret line in loving which attraction and even passion cannot cross Picture Quote #1

No, not under the vault of another sky, not under the shelter of other wings. I was with my people then, there where my people were doomed to be Picture Quote #1

I should be proud to have my memory graced, but only if the monument be placed... here, where I endured three hundred hours in line before the implacable iron bars Picture Quote #1

No foreign sky protected me, no stranger’s wing shielded my face. I stand as witness to the common lot survivor of that time, that place Picture Quote #1

Not, not mine: it’s somebody else’s wound; I could never have borne it. So take the thing that happened, hide it, stick it in the ground; whisk the lamps away Picture Quote #1
