"During the encounter Von Richthofen never expected artilliery, but he had more to worry about. Raine? - No. Cat's? - No. Flying lessons? - Probably. .The little Church at Veux-Sur-Somme still standing saw the pilot May nearly lead Von Richtofen into the tower after the chase along the canal and coming out of the mist above the water. The Sleepy Sof an as good as dead memory. hores remind me of the sope of the Morlancourt Ridge adjacent to which is the river to its north as it turns from north-west to south. You can hear the bell as it tolls on the piano but it isnt any bell but the sinking lower toward the bogland as aircraft may dive to pick up speed or climb quicker, that the triplane could yet on another day ..never cease to ask for whom the bell tolls: it tolls... it tolls for thy dog which is thee Manfred..which be your last circle or not your gramophone when but a piano? - your last flight of J.S.Bach just not thatofen except it isnt - not exactly as Bach in his German castles wrote it so guess he was not so popular at that time - we end it abruptly as it was for our guy Manfred and his German music he must have loved and played incessently on the gramophone's base camp away from the mind of the Flying Circus above the living and the living dead - "corpses" taking on some respite."
I once heard my old lead singer slur something similar while in an opium stupor backstage...
