The achingly beautiful cover of timeless trees, earth, flowers
and rock, is redolent of
Israel’s destiny. This little land, so hallowed in human
history, seems the literary and spiritual core of existence to
most of humanity. If strife is ever present here, how can there
ever be the peace of ancient promise? This land seems to
symbolize the eternal quest for harmony where forces of turmoil
march ceaselessly. Bar-Lev and Simon explore this theme for us.
Cyclamens and Swords will become a treasured classic, echoing as
it does so fluently, the longing, fearing and questing that
marks these troubled times. Helen Bar-Lev’s poem Beauty sums up
the reader’s feelings as we reluctantly finish this special
book: “and I,/the ingrate,/ever insatiable,/implore
you,/please,/ show/ me/more.”
