Re: Orientalism in Dominions
Egypt is the Orient!
There rises the sun.
There lies Heliopolis where the phoenix rises.
There man was born and civilization flowered.
There the mysteries flowered and died again.
Hidden from our eyes by sand.
Hidden from our reach by heat.
Hidden from our memory by millennia of time.
We will never understand the glory of the east.
And so we love it unconditionally.

Hmm, it was not my intention to write lyrics, but it fits well with the theme of the thread  Just wanted to say that Egypt is more orient than even Constantinople in my eyes. I believe the original Orient would have been the Middle East and Egypt to the romans. The Orient is a roman concept, right? |
