YOU ENTER THE COOLNESS OF THE HOUSE AND CLOSE THE DOOR BEHIND YOU.
YOU WALK UP AND DOWN BREATHING IN THE SILENCE. WHERE IS THE MONSTROUS
COMINGS AND GOINGS LEFT? AND THE BRAZEN LIGHT AND THOSE BRAZEN NOISES?
AND THE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF FACES? IN THESE HOUSES FEW WINDOWS
FACE THE STREET, SOMETIMES NONE. EVERYTHING OPENS ONTO THE COURTYARD,
AND THAT OPENS ONTO THE SKY.

MOROCCO HAD BROUGHT SOME COLOR TO MY ASEPTIC ENGLISH CHILDHOOD,
WHICH MOST OF THE TIME WAS FORCED TO LIVE SQUASHED INSIDE ROUGH GRAY FLANNEL
SHIRTS AND CORDUROY SHORTS UNDER A GRAY SKY OF CLOUDS.
THE KINGDOM OF MOROCCO HAD ALWAYS BEEN A PLACE OF ESCAPE, A PLACE
OF SURPRISING INTENSITY, BUT ABOVE ALL ELSE, A PLACE WITH A SOUL.
