Ahmed Morsi - Red Cage

"Red Cage"
Oil on canvas
70 x 100 cm
Cairo - 1968
ní scarann aon ní
óna chéile sinn, níor scar riamh
ní scarfaidh go deo
        conas a dhéanfaí dhá leath den mhuir
        níor tharla sé ó aimsir Fharó
nothing separates us
nothing ever did
or ever can, beloved
        how can the sea divide itself
        not since the time of the Pharaoh
