Letter to the Egyptian Gazette (August 25, 1964): "My religious pilgrimage (hajj) to Mecca has given me a new insight into the true brotherhood of Islam, which encompasses all the races of mankind. The pilgrimage broadened my scope, my mind, my outlook, and made me more flexible in approaching life's many complexities and in my reactions to its paradoxes.
At Mecca I saw the spirit of unity and true brotherhood· displayed by tens of thousands of people from all over the world, from blue-eyed blonds to black-skinned Africans. This served to convince me that perhaps some American whites can also be cured of the rampant racism which is consuming them and about to destroy that country.
I am now striving to live the life of a true Sunni Muslim."

Il posto dove i brindisini trascorrevano la loro estate. Oggi non esiste più, smantellata, derisa e violentata dal poi della passata ed odierna modernità. È rimasto solo lo spettro dei ricordi che s'affaccia dallo scheletro di una finestra di quella che un tempo fu la bella Villa Skirmunt, assieme alla leggenda del suo fantasma.

Find the treasure. Bootsale tables sometimes have a small treasure or two. Hopefully I found the right one, can you? Swipe for the answer or scan the table, it’s what I did. #findthetreasure#fleamarketfinds#junk
