Raouf J. Halaby Last Lecture, April 29, 2013

British Library

“There are in our existence spots of time / That with distinct pre-eminence retain / A renovating virtue…” “Such moments, worthy of all gratitude, / Are scattered everywhere, taking their date form our first childhood / As far as Memory can look back.” “We see into the life of things.”

“People woke up on the second of January

and found the whole world about them

altogether changed. … For in the night it had snowed. The snow gave the town a

drawn, bleak look. “ (From The Ballad of

the Sad Café, Carson McCullers)
