“Here is the time of peace, Here is the smile of the ladies, the joyful echos of the spring, the first swallows that come back from the south...We are in a city of Germany, in March, when the snow just starts to melt. Here is the noise of the stream of the snow that flows nearby the ancient streets. And now the peace is over...Here are the drums, the camions, the soldiers footsteps...Can you hear it? Can you hear this slow muffled inexorable patter? A population marching...Among those people the soldier is lost...At this point should be a choir, a kind of religious hymn, that is still unfinished. Now hear! It is the time of the fight.”
