The summer grasses.
All that remains
Of warriors’ dreams.

Afraid of History

“I have seen that it is not man that is impotent in the struggles against evil, but the power of evil that is impotent in the struggle against man. The powerlessness of kindness, of senseless kindness, is the secret of its immortality.… Human history is not man’s battle to overcome evil. It is a battle fought by a great evil struggling to crush a small kernel of human kindness. But if what is human in human beings has not been destroyed even now, then evil will never conquer.” — Vasily Grossman
