'In Another Country' by Ernest Hemingway

In the fall the war was always there, but we did not go to it any more. It was cold in the fall in Milan and the dark came very early. Then the electric lights came on, and it was pleasant along the streets looking in the windows.

'The Robert Redford'

After seeing Lions for Lambs, a movie that has the intention but fails to pack the punch it aimed for, I found myself reading the comments about it on the IMDb (Internet Movie Database) when I stumbled upon this sentence by one Michael Connelly from Maine:

Susanna and the Magical Orchestra - Love Will Tear Us Apart

Do you cry out in your sleep?

All my failings expose.

Get a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold.

Is it something so good,

Just can't function no more.

When love, love will tear us apart again.

Love, love will tear us apart again.

Remember the echoes...

We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail [fail, fail, fail...]. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea [an idea, an idea, an idea...] can still change the world.
