war ugly

The Muse Letter No. 164

“From the start of the war I became ugly, too.

I was beautiful my face was bigger.

I was beautiful.

But we became ugly because of the corpses.

The war ruined us all.

See this?

We’re all ruined.

I didn’t look like this.

I was much more beautiful.

I was very beautiful.

But the war made me ugly.”¹
