Aseer Alkotb The Blind , Wala' Eawda

"Zuwaila looks out through its windows like eyes bearing witness to history. How many caliphs passed from here crowned and flew in his suits? How many funerals of a scholar came from his left? If you look closely, you might see the heads of the Tatar messengers hanging and the wind shaking them, mocking the legend of the Mongols and their unbeatable army." Do you see her weeping while pulling Tuman's head hanging on top of her? Do you see her mocking what the days are doing while watching the head of Qansuh carried on a spear pointing at her with an eye of glass?

Here on Bab Zuweila the beginning and end of an era, fall and rise, death and life, right and wrong, betrayal and loyalty, here history makes fun of the blind!
