We speak of Goya and the coming war,
(I fail to see the humor of its coming...)
I pause for her reply: a breathless "More..."
So I relate his genius and his cunning.
Her eyes are closed as I describe the scenes
Of occupation’s IN hu MAN i TEEEEEEEE,

In drawing after drawing, will come to pass.

Innocent people slaughtered to the last?!
