When I look back

When I look back, I have no regrets , I would not have wanted to live differently … Anyway , a fantasy is never that. I do not say : I wanted to be a citizen of Athens in the time of Pericles, or a citizen of Grenada under Abencerages or a bourgeois of Vienna waltzes .

I was born in a township from high mountain , an old race which for millennia has not ceased to be there with some, with others … which, under the sun or snow, through Garamantians sands or the old cities of Tell, unrolled his saga, his trials and splendor , which helped in history in various ways to humanize the lives of men .

The Proponents of a sickly chauvinism can go deploring the excessive opening of our ancestors: Hannibal has designed its strategy in Punic , It is in Latin that St Augustin said the city of God , in Arabic Ibn Khaldun explained laws revolutions of men. Personally, I like to see it early in the history of this broad host faculty .

Because it may the ghettos givre security , but surely they sterilize . This is where I want to finish . Those who, for leaving the scene , still waiting to have recited the last line in my opinion is wrong : there is never a last line – or each replica is the last – we can stop the endless stream approximately any bucket , the ball at any figure dance. The number of days left to live , God knows. But whatever the point of the race where the term reach me , I will go with the pegged certainty that whatever obstacles that history will it, it is in the sense of liberation that my people – and with it the others – will go. Ignorance , prejudice, ignorance can hinder a moment that free movement, but it is certain that the day will inevitably come when we distinguish the truth of his pretenses .

All the rest is literature.
