Nuit de Cristal
It’s
possible to appreciate the beauty of a shard of glass without
knowing
what the window looked like before it was smashed…
-Matti Friedman, Who by Fire: Leonard Cohen in the
Sinai
Her libraries are closed against book-burners
Museums wrecked out by enemies of art
Music has been silenced by the bullhorns’ roars
Communion is now a looted Hershey bar
Poets must hide their verse from the ignorant
Who scream for education even as they burn their schools
Defile synagogues and loot little shops
And steal purses, not books or microscopes
Even so
Paris, civilization’s brightest light
Will live despite lies, fires, and
broken glass
Qu'est-ce que
«Krystallnacht» en français?
