 116 They are white, like little Georgian crosses, crosses pinned to the much-suffering road.

Just like Georgian orders:

—For self-sacrifice.

And there was expressed, together with affliction, much warmth and much beauty.

"They" do the burying at nights.

Do not bury, but:

—Dig holes for the dead,

as the peasants say.

—Because it is without the requiem hymn. Surely such an act is not a burial.

In the daytime, at the stopping-places, at the relief and medical points, they:

—conceal their corpses,

fearing that they may be delayed by formalities:

—and remain behind!

They carry out the corpses from the forest where they have spent the night and bring them to the road.
