 The town of Warlock is plagued by a gang of thugs, leading
 the inhabitants to hire Clay Blaisdell, a famous gunman, to
 act as marshal. When Blaisdell appears, he is accompanied by
 his friend Tom Morgan, a club-footed gambler who is
 unusually protective of Blaisdell's life and reputation.
 However, various townspeople, concerned by the illegality of
 Blaisdell's position, induce Johnny Gannon, one of the thugs
 who has reformed, to accept the post of official sheriff in
 rivalry to Blaisdell; and a woman arrives in town accusing
 Blaisdell and Morgan of having murdered her fiance. The
 stage is set for a complex set of moral and person
 conflicts.

 Definition:

 A warlock is NOT the term for a male witch. A male witch is
 just a witch. The term has been picked up by popular
 culture, and people who don't really know anything about
 witchcraft like to use it.

 What the word really means is frequently and vehemently
 debated amongst modern-day witches. The usual explanation is
 that it's an old English word for 'oath-breaker' and was
 used for a witch who betrayed their coven.

For me, War-Lock is a man who locks up War in himself,
the apocalypse. He is unheimlich (I've heard that word
somewhere--un-home-like, alien?), uncanny, abject, End.

Of course that comes back to an MMIV concern: T.S. Eliot's KURTZ:

http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~richie/poetry/html/aupoem74.html
 The Hollow Men
 kingdom between men eyes death hollow broken pear prickly dead
 shadow star together wind without world crossed dream dry fading

 This is the way the world ends

 This is the way the world ends

 This is the way the world ends

 Not with a bang but a whimper.
