Come and see the blood in the streets, come and see the blood in the streets, come and see the bloodin the streets![Pablo Neruda, I explain a Few Things]
-------------------------------------------------------------
Why this sudden bewilderment, this confusion?
(How serious people’s faces have become.)
Why are the streets and squares emptying so rapidly, everyone going home lost in thought?
Because night has fallen and the barbarians haven’t come.
And some of our men just in from the border saythere are no barbarians any longer.
Now what’s going to happen to us without barbarians? Those people were a kind of solution.
[C.P: Cavafy, Waiting For The Barbarians]
