After the War
The center of the
main city was rebuilt.
Spanking-new half-timbered
houses made everything seem
erect, just as it had once
been. Yet constructing utopias
was often not cherished, even
by those who thought they lived in
them. There were even spasmodic,
although grand, neoclassical buildings
arranged near a central square which
celebrated heroism. Yet most of the
people were tucked away in wooded,
plaster or slab concrete barracks
in the suburbs. Such is the
aftermath of war.
