Mattia's Fortune Cookies

What is this great evil? How did it steal into the world?
From what seed, what root did it spring? Who's doing this?
Who's killing us? Robbing us of light and life. Mocking us
with the sight of what we might have known.

John Dee Smith (alias Private Train),
from "The Thin Red Line", Terrence Malick, 1998
