n. In international affairs, a period of cheating between two periods of fighting.


O, what's the loud uproar assailing
Mine ears without cease?

The horrors of peace.

Would marry it, too.
If only they knew how to do it
'Twere easy to do.


They're working by night and by day
On their problem, like moles.
Have mercy, O Heaven, I pray,
On their meddlesome souls!
Ro Amil
