In the cellar, a dog moans outside a cottage made of stone.
Rises from someone’s phone, a lament about a brother dead, two women with their black hair hanging in a curtain of grief. To moonlight and a clatter of plates: wives and girlfriends cooking, serving food. Behind every blade of grass.” Another pulls his fleece tight around his chest and coughs, air heavy with dust.

Mihail Sebastian was the pen name of Iosif Mendel Hechter. In that fevered year of 1934, with Hitler established as German chancellor and Spain stumbling toward civil war, Sebastian published For Two Thousand Years.
