Azar's Middle Eastern Journeys
" I had been for many years going up and down
the Semitic East before the war,
learning the manners of the villagers
and tribesmen
and citizens of Syria
and Mesopotamia.
My poverty had constrained me to mix
with the humbler classes,
those seldom met by European travelers,
and thus my experiences gave me an unusual angle of view,
which enabled me to understand and think for the ignorant many,
as well as for the more ENLARGE
enlightend,
whose rare opion mattered,
not so much for the day,
as for the marrow."
