the sky was laced by delicate traceries of cloud and beneath turmoil broiled on a terrible earth

the witches of the Scottish play were making menace in the skies

The Prince studied the heavens

felled by war

he asks the sky Gods

why does war endure ?

war endures because young men love it and old men love it in them

The Emperor astride his noble white beast examined the Prince

set among the burning snows of defeat the Russian flag is stripped of its contents by weird winds screaming through the universe leaving it tattered robbed of import

threadless

he spares the warrior

they are equal

one in defeat one in pride
