I transform myself into a centaur and spend days unimaginably full of excrement. The country is beautiful and alive with passion... Tonight, in the fields, by the light of the moon and torches, soldiers carried us on their shoulders through 4,000 peasants, peasant women, soldiers and soldiers' wives, peasants wept as they listened to Athena in Greek, everyone with a rifle, and the people sang incessantly. It was a meeting for peace.
