Layton Strikes Again!

The Improved Binoculars: Below me the city was in flames, the foremen were the first to save themselves. I saw steeples fall on their knees, lovers held short of the final spasm, their elbows held back by giant escorts of fire. .... An agent kicked the charred bodies of an orpanage to one side, marking the site carefully for a future speculation. All this I saw with my improved binoculars... This poem is the poem which gives the book its title. Very strong poem and almost makes one taste the bile rising in the throat... A MUST READ!!!!!!!!!
