Language is an imperfect vessel for thought.
But in trying to express ideas we sometimes
create things more beautiful than we dreamed.

Qal‘at al-Hamra
Alhambra
Red Fortress

set against
the snow-covered mountains
Sierra Nevada

seven hundred and seventy seven years
the Moors ruled al-Ándalus and Granada

in 1492 the reconquista
reached Andalucia
and Columbus and the conquistadores
reached the shores of America

the world would never be the same again

but then
it never is
