 ��0\TRHEARD IX AN ASIXUM

And here we have another case, quite different from the last, another case quite different — Listen.

Baby, drink. The war is over. Mother's breasts are round with milk.

Baby, rest. The war is over. Only pigs slop over so.

Baby, sleep. The war is over. Daddy's come with a German coin.

Baby, dream. The war is over. You'll be a soldier too.
