Thank you, Ionesco. That is a beautiful poem, and the movie looks really interesting as well. I printed it out to add to my list. We would have to rent the beach house for a month to see all of the movies I have printed out reminders of! I am not sure how I will manage that. It is a little hard to tell from the movie blurb--is it World War I or II? My grandfather spent World War I in the trenches of France, and somehow thought a tiny little girl sitting in his lap would enjoy his war stories. I think now that he didn't have anyone else to tell them--we spent all our time together. He was not seriously injured, but was shell shocked and had a horrible time. I think he enjoyed the camaraderie in the trenches a little bit, which I guess is the only good thing you can bring home from a war--the memories of that shared experience. He smoked a pipe and his ashtray was a brass shell casing that he picked up in the trenches and brought home as a souvenir. It was about eight inches across and weighed about fifteen pounds. I still have it--it is all my memories of him, sitting on all the coffee tables of my life, with those tall stacks of books.
