The Holy Land And Syria, Frank G. Carpenter

[SvendBosanvovski]

I dig it: poetry sans mot. We see here visual cadences - a moving, nostalgic commentary on the loss of those ideals that saw Palestinians opened their lands to oppressed Jewish settlers who knew the meaning of oppression and hatred after centuries of persecution. As the presenter flicks gently through the faded pages we gain glimpses of a vanished world, as though we were gazing through an old photorama. Now barbed wire, concrete walls and soldiers with guns punctuate that landscape.
