Bibliotekarene har alltid vært, og vil alltid være vår viktigste skanse mot stupiditet og autokrati.
Men det blir bare synlig når tidene hardner.

It is emotionally overwhelming and deeply painful to see the videos of release for political prisoners opposing a dictator like #Asad after many years of imprisonment.

It's amazing how Persian poetry has influenced other arts, including painting. You can often find verses next to a painting.
Three #paintings ascribed to 'Abd Al-Hayy Astar Abadi, Circa 1370-80
- Two cranes standing in a pool
- A heron landing
- Two herons with ducks

My whole being is a dark chant
which will carry you
perpetuating you
to the dawn of eternal growths and blossoming
in this chant I sighed you, sighed
in this chant
I grafted you to the tree, to the water, to the fire.

In many ways it was the
same as you can't find
what you are searching
for when you don't
know what it is,
but somehow you
spend days looking
in all the wrong places
hoping one day to remember.

Sometimes I miss the Iran depicted in art, but then I remember it's not the full reality of that time.
