Jag postade det här på ett annat (engelskt) forum, men reproducerar det här för allas nöje.

Have you ever considered that life is lot like the war on the east front? June '41 and you're twenty, you can do anything, one kick and you'll have it all! Your "airforce" still works as it should and there's plenty of everything. Then comes the mud and winter and you're suddenly 29... a painful shock and you wallow in anxiety for a while, but you didn't loose that much ground and suddenly there's better wheather and you're 30. Summer '42 begins and you think that it wasn't that bad, and you convince yourself you can still have all that oil if you want to. Too bad your "airforce" isn't really up to specs anymore, but who needs that when you have your beautiful spouse Dora?

Then comes 39-40 and suddenly it is all over... you struggle with existensial angst and finally have to surrender to the fact that you lost a huge part of who you once where somewhere in a city on the Volga. You'll never have that oil after all...!

S'43 is here and throughout your forties you struggle on, but it isn't the same anymore. You don't lay the same amount (of land) under your tracks anymore and it is a chore just to stick to what you have.

Then comes winter '43, summer '44, and you're fighting just to stay out of senility. Your "airforce" is a joke and just doesn't pack any punch. And as someone plants a flag on your grave and your brains finally gives out lika pistol shot to the mouth after having been locked away in some bunker retirement home, you realise that you too, wheren't immortal...!

I'm twenty-seven and the dark clouds of rain are coing early....!

PS. What about your youth? Well, it's just like the anschluss (kindergarten), invasion of poland (high school) and invasion of france (college). Your promising talent for writing and a carreer as a writer you abandoned somewhere in the desert in '43, realising that no amount of talent will ever get you a carreer as a writer if you don't pay attention to the supply of actual hours...
