A Graveside Signal
An interesting tableau was witnessed at the ceremony:
Many tribal leaders wore traditional red-checkered head scarves, but without turbans, a sign that they would exact revenge for Hussein, according to Arab tribal traditions.
"Having heard, or more probably read somewhere...that when a man in a forest thinks he is going forward in a straight line, in reality he is going in a circle, I did my best to go in a circle, hoping in this way to go in a straight line. For I stopped being half-witted and became sly, whenever I took the trouble...and if I did not go in a rigorously straight line, with my system of going in a circle, at least I did not go in a circle, and that was something." --Samuel Beckett
