Steaming Quotes
Years rolled on. France, long tossed among the surges of civil commotion, plunged at last into a gulf of fratricidal war. Blazing hamlets, sacked cities, fields steaming with slaughter, profaned altars, and ravished maidens, marked the track of the tornado. There was little room for schemes of foreign enterprise.

I think of your mother
and the tears she cried, she cried for none other
than her little boy lost in our little world that hated
and that dared to drag him down

babes got lost in the wood
hip flask slinging madman, steaming cafe flirts
they all spoke through you.

The Futurists were the first painters, poets, and architects who exalted modern work with their art-
they painted speeding automobiles-
they painted lamps bursting with light-
they painted steaming locomotives and swift bicyclists-

Himmler was certainly banal, but he was also baroque, steaming around in a special train and diverting large amounts of the Third Reich's increasingly thin resources to such 'tasks' as proving scholastically that the Japanese were Aryans. How could you show all that and be believed? The whole Nazi reality was a caricature. The more precisely you evoke it, the less probable it looks.
