“He fell in October 1918, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the army report confined itself to the single sentence: All quiet on the Western Front.

How merciful to have been granted the other senses.” WorldHas BeensStillsSilenceDarknessStrangeQuietCreaturesSensesPeacefulGrantedPermanentThroatDreadSilence IsMercifulHelplessnessNighttime Author:David Levithan
