Images above are of (a) Dresden in the winter of 1945, after the Allied firebombing of the city, and (b) Dresden today, as exemplified by its Palace of Dreams
Brothers will fight
and kill each other,
sisters' children
will defile kinship.
It is harsh in the world,
whoredom rife
—an axe age, a sword age
—shields are riven—
a wind age, a wolf age—
before the world goes headlong.
No man will have
mercy on another.
