who killed each other in one of the

“Nieuport is in ruins. destruction

and all things living have long since;

spot accursed. Nieuport is inhabited,
but it is by the dead. In unburied

their heroic deeds but at present they
lie where they fell, and sepulture is
denied them because this last zone of
