Because one thing has become clear to me: you can cope with all the horror as long as you simply duck thinking about it – but it will kill you if you try to come to terms with it.

— Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front

The Grim Reaper doesn't come for the dead. That's a myth. He doesn't wear a robe either. Nor does he carry a scythe.

The Grim Reaper comes for the living. He wears the uniform of a private, ill fitting on a young man who's barely past boyhood.

The Grim Reaper comes for mothers. And when he comes every mother on the street steps outside to watch him go, dreading that it's her door where he's gonna stop.

The Grim Reaper is trembling and shy. It never gets easier. All those eyes on him.

The Grim Reaper doesn't carry a scythe. He carries a mailbag. And in it are a hundred letters. Each stamped with the Royal Army Seal.

The mother cries. She refuses the letter. But the Grim Reaper will not be denied. He is not the instrument of death. Only its herald.

The Grim Reaper has no time to stay. There're so many letters yet to deliver today.

The year is 1915, and the Grim Reaper knows that tomorrow will be a busy day as well.

The fact that Tolkien fought in the First World War can be clearly seen in his books. He felt. I'm from Ukraine, so I know something about war. And every description of such events in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings hits the heart.

But one phrase from The Hobbit struck me the most. Usually in movies and books, good triumphs over evil, and the heroes immediately celebrate the victory among the ruins, but not in The Hobbit.

“Victory after all, I suppose!” Bilbo said, feeling his aching head. “Well, it seems a very gloomy business.”

Because Tolkien knew that behind every victory there is a mountain of human sacrifice and grief. He felt it, I feel it too. And it hurts me.

One of my absolute favorite things is early, pre-WWI aircraft where they were clearly still figuring out what worked for artificial flight and what didn't. My favorite example thereof is the Etrich Taube (Dove). Like... That's very clearly just a bird with an engine (though the wing shape was apparently based on the seeds of Alsomitra macrocarpa, otherwise known as the Javan Cucumber)

Ironically, and perhaps sadly for a plane named "Dove", it's main claim to fame is being the first aircraft to drop a bomb in anger. It was used in the Battle of Ain Zara in 1911 to bomb a Turkish military camp, and was also widely used for observation in the early stages of The Great War.

The Red Baron, WWI. Soldiers examine what remains of Manfred von Richthofen's aircraft after he was shot down, and killed over Vaux-sur-Somme, France, just days before his 26th birthday, but by then already an aviation legend.
