WAR IN BLACK AND WHITE...

"I saw the old god of war stand in a bog between chasm and rock-face.
He smelled of free beer and carbolic and showed his testicles to adolescents, for he had been rejuvenated by several professors.
In a hoarse wolfish voice he declared his love for everything young".

Bertold Brecht (translation by Michael Hamburger)
