Yes, ’n’ how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, ’n’ how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they’re forever banned?
(Bob Dylan)
When the cannons roar - the muses mustn't be silent.
Shalom (peace), War is an evening entirely dedicated to songs and poems written during wars and after wars, from the eternal Lili Marleen under that pale lantern, through heartbreaking partisan songs to Alterman's heartbreaking "Letter from а Mother."
