” Carthage “
Sundial….Blue from across distant waters… Haze of stars… Nereides…. Medusa… Mosaic bags for beautiful roman women…
Palm, tree of life and fruits of honey. The shadow of Dido haunts these Carthaginian villas with mosaic floors. Stone pillars where battles are inscribed, conquests, festivities, traces of feasts mixed with wines of Summer. Carthage is not destroyed. She rises from her ashes and gives us the greatest lesson of eternity.
