Its literature includes Sartre's Huis Clos (ClosedDoors), a drama laid in Hell with an infanticide, Lesbian and a military deserter as its chief protagonists.

Father Schmitz showed him the phorid flies (the ants had been sent to Maastricht's natural history museum for safekeeping). Snapped Professor Dr. Bischoff: "From today on all this belongs to me.
