William Shakespeare

Singing Demon, singing demon! Parting is such sweet sorrow
I'll sing the blues until it be tomorrow.

Did you ever hear the theory that links war with available transport? It looks so obvious that someone else must have thought of it noticed the pattern.

First you get the villages saying "this bit is ours" and telling horror stories about the village down the road and fighting the village over the hill. The ones they can just about get at by a few days journey in good weather.

Then they invent the wheel or domesticate the horse or something and they get kingdoms about the size of two good pastures, the village over the hill gets turned into neighbours and they start fighting the ones that are a few days journey away by horse.

Then they get coaches, the kingdoms get bigger and they start trying to fight the strangers that they can only reach by a few days journey by boat. The French and English kept it up for centuries. The Romans went everywhere, way back, but there's mostly that critical time and distance.

It's gone sour on you, now. If you'd found Martians you'd have a world government and a whole new war...

I hadn't, I guess it was after my time,
Google gave me a summary but it don't rhyme.
It's the opposite to the best cure for Gorfsnibbless

They ain't so common, now. When they get the blues they don't breed, locally, but I hear they're making life interesting in one of Vraith dimensions...
