for the legendary appearance cost her a great deal.

And she died, and all her fortune was this modest grave in which her remains found rest.

She died, and her stories remained the talk of the evening gatherings the villagers hold around their hearth fires.

And the legend went on charming the visitors who come from afar, searching for legends in our land ..

And the palace went on telling of her glory, until time grew old and the faces changed, and it became a shelter for peasants, and pens for cattle and sheep.

And the grave remained dignified; before it a person cannot but feel a hush of reverence.

And I folded my book and rose from the great stone on which I had been sitting. The sunlight was drawing back from the grave, slipping away between the olive branches.

I turned, and found neither the peasant woman nor the villager nor the cow nor the donkey .. I found my companions: one taking a photograph of the grave, and one drinking in the view so as to describe the place well in his radio program.

And the bell of Deir al-Mukhalles could be heard from afar, ringing for evening .. I cast one more look at the grave, and I fancied it was begging us to leave it to its stillness.

And our procession went back down the hill to take a car that would carry it to the coast, drawn along on an evening journey whose phantoms were the orange and banana and loquat trees .. And not one of us uttered a word — perhaps all of us were picturing chapters from the life of this adventuress whom the Bedouin, with great generosity, crowned queen over our East!!
