Amos Oz Words like "cabin", "pasture", "shepherd of geese" fascinated me throughout childhood. They had the sensual aroma of a real world, far from carefree and dusty tin roofs, the open spaces filled with scrap metal and brambles, the bleak slopes of a strangulated Jerusalem from the yoke of a summer glow. She had only to whisper to myself "grazing" - to hear the lowing of cows with bells around their necks and rushing streams. With eyes closed, watching the goose barefooted shepherdess, which disturbed me to tears when I did not know anything.
