[ After Massacre of the Innocents (1824) by Léon Cogniet ] An image kept from Our public eyes: A mother clutching Her child in despair Unknown to us Fearing for death Unseen, alone. Crouching in a corner Under a broken wall Not a place of shelter, Not a place of care. No hope for help Just the hopeless Wish to escape this Hell from the sky And save her child. |
