Drawing on the insights of Virginia Woolf and Doris Lessing, Morska critiques the modern tendency to treat distant violence as a "video game" and warns against the "euphoric lie" of militaristic rhetoric. She concludes that the writer’s role is to act as a global conscience, "thinking peace into existence" and resisting the language of destruction through reflective, humane prose. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/146986 Title: Bernabo Visconti to two delegates of Abbot Grimoard Abstract: Poem by Daniel Galef. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/146985 Title: Meduna to Ezzelin Abstract: Poem by Daniel Galef. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z
