And if Epiphany's terror reduced you to shame

Would Rumsfeld have released Goya's Disasters of War images?











Goya, by Andrei Voznesensky

I am Goya!...

I am the voice

Of war, the charred wood of towns . . .

I am the throat

Of the woman whose hanged body, like a bell,

Clanged over the empty square . . .

I am Goya!
