* Our illustration is a still from the 1948 film The Snake Pit directed by Anatole Litvak and starring the front and center Olivia de Havilland. The movie was adapted from Mary Jane Ward's 1946 semi-autobiographical novel of the same name which told the tortured story of a woman who finds herself in an insane asylum and cannot remember how or why!

Based on the 1952 novel A Stone for Danny Fisher by Harold Robbins, the film is about a nineteen-year-old who gets mixed up with crooks and involved with two women. Reportedly one of The King's (and Eye's) favorite roles.

* Inspiration received from
Poppies In The Field written by
Julian Cope

In Flanders Field painted by

 Robert Vonnah 

(1858-1933)

In Flanders Fields composed by

 John McCrae

(1872-1918)

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

    That mark our place; and in the sky

    The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

        In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

    The torch; be yours to hold it high.

    If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

        In Flanders fields.
