More From Amin Maalouf

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

Spring is beautiful everywhere, but it is more than beautiful in lebanon. spring is the spirit of an unknown god speeding through the world, which, as it reaches lebanon, pauses, because now it is as at home with the souls of the prophets and kings hovering over the land, chanting with the brooks of judea, the eternal psalms of solomon, renewing with the cedars of lebanon memories of an ancient glory.
