The Desert Is Not Remote in Southern Tropics—TS Eliot

            A lonely rock stands high above a dry ravine in the mountains of central Zagori, in northwestern Greece. The extreme terrain around and below this rock is strongly reminiscent of TS Eliot’s masterpiece:

“The desert is not remote in southern tropics,
The desert is not only around the corner,
The desert is squeezed in the tube-train next to you.
The desert is in the heart of your brother.”

—TS Eliot (The Rock)
