For the first time in two or three days, I heard the cry of birds – oh well, it was a crow, but even a crow’s croaking sounded wonderful. There still was life. There were birds and the breeze. There were clouds in the blue sky. And we could look at them for a moment, hear them again. You have no idea how beautiful the world looks and sounds in the hours after a battle stops!
