  |  /--\  lonely Canadian soldier is sipping a    |
  |  mug of thin soup in a trench in Flanders.     |
  |                                                |
  |  How calm he is!  Doesn't he know the world    |
  |  famous Red Baron has come down in this area?  |
  |  Or has he looked DEATH in the eye once too    |
  |  often and hence stopped caring about doom?    |
  |                                                |
  |  Yes, DOOM, drawing near from the right with   |
  |  a sound as foreboding--                       |
