- 3561: Life and Sacrifice
- ... because they have eliminated their only chance to be together. We should recall the World Wars fought in the past century, and we are all knowledgeable about the millions of deaths and casualties in the war, yet those that have sacrificed their lives have never been recognized individually. Their contributions and sacrifices for their countries seem to be worthless. The Remembrance Day, the annual commemoration of the billions of people who fought in the war, is the only time that we reminisce the contributions of these people, yet some people do not even spend one minute to think about them. Unfortunately, these people who sacrificed their lives are ignorant about the political issues behind the war, which they are manipulated by their countries to invade other countries. Their sacrifices seem to be useless, because the conflicts have never ended between these countries. Our lives are the most precious thing in ...

For instance, before this time, secular madrigals were written about love. Monteverdi does away with this idea by including in his book nine madrigals that deal with war.

Also, the large number of different lengths of the madrigals was strange. ...

- ... great, skillful wrestler. There is a story that says that at the time when Abraham Lincoln received news of his nomination to presidency in 1860 he was wrestling.
