THE FALL '01 is a study in human debasement and expansive lamentation on a great society whose deteriorating values may well presage an empire at the precipice of its fall.

          We soldiers of all nations who lie killed
          Ask little: that you never in our name
          Dare claim we died that men might be fulfilled.
          The earth should vomit us against that shame.
                                                                                James Agee

          Hatred is a master of contrast --
          between explosions, and dead quiet,
          red blood and white snow.
          Above all it never tires
          of its leitmotif -- the impeccable executioner
          towering over its soiled victim.
                                                                                Wislawa Szymborska
                                                                                translated by Stanislaw Baranczak and Clare Cavanagh
