“On the wind’s wings, in my mind springs
A body made of flaming fog
Sipped from sidereal stars
Springing from unfinished matter
From a thread of enchanted water
On the wind’s wing I catch the longing
To blow it in its shape to be
To bind its body to the ground
As if from a dream it’ll land
All of creation in its hand.”
Negură Bunget – The Weaver of Lights
The OM Album, 2006
All the atrocities presented in this book, however absurd they might appear to readers today, are historically documented. The characters were shaped both based on the narratives of witnesses to these tragic events, and on the historical sources available.
