War and Peace - Critique

“All is vanity, all falsehood, except that infinite sky.” - Prince Andrei. Written by Leo Tolstoy (1869)

Humans’ search for meaning,

All is futile,

One can’t fight history,

Napoleonic wars,

Chronicling two decades,

Pierre’s profound quest,

Andrei’s heart-breaking demise,

Natasha wanted Boris to kiss her doll - such simpler times,

Yet now a beautiful woman, unlucky in love -

One of the greatest writers that ever lived.
