    The city prepared for the worst. It was on Calle San Bernardo, in front of the streetcar depot, where Capa heard for the second time a group of militia shouting the cry of Pétain in Verdun: “Ils ne passeront pas.” This time a little louder, and in Spanish: NO PASARÁN. They shall not pass. Wars also leave behind them a wealth of phrases that link one caste’s blood to another. It’s happened since the days of Troy. Unique to war is its ability to reverse time.
