“And there you are, intent, faced by the stones and the silence, as the day passes and the mountains grow bigger as they turn violet. But the wind blows across the plateau of Djémila. In this great confusion of wind and of the sun which fills the ruins with light, something is forged which gives to man a sense of his identity with the solitude and the Silence of the dead city.”
