Auda Abu Tayi
Jul. 23rd, 2008 12:01 amIf you've ever looked at my Profile, you know I've been making something of a chapbook out of it.
However, since I'm becoming more diligent about tagging entries, it probably makes more sense to bring quotes to the front, and let tags carry the lifting and sorting. First, though, an entry or two on quotes I've been reminded of:
*^*^*
"I carry twenty-three great wounds all got in battle. Seventy-five men have I killed with my own hands in battle. I scatter, I burn my enemies' tents. I take away their flocks and herds. The Turks pay me a golden treasure, yet I am poor! Because I am a river to my people!"
-- Auda Abu Tayi, as written by Robert Bolt, Lawrence of Arabia
