I am a man half-dead. A gash mars my face, with courtesies from a Turkish sabre. From right eye to left cheek, it is a reminder that a hand of iron does not replace skill. As the physician tends to the less fortunate, I have accepted the graces of a decent family of wine makers who attend to my wounds. They run a taproom in a small village. Father, mother, and daughter. The young one is quite beautiful and urges the mind to recall Bertha. Would that she were here, all pains upon my body would whither in her touch.
I cannot write another word. I have forsaken my abilities and my appearance for a war that has brought nothing but haunted nights and fevered dreams of bats and strange symbols. It appears I have also forsaken my intellect. I go on to enjoy the favors of the wounded, for wine may lift the spirits and discourse with travelers may distill the mind.
