Nature grows most desolate when history deserts her, like a bone without flesh; but wherever paths cross or the plough has carved a name the countryside assumes memories and is invisibly softened. The whole of Lebanon falls within this vale of recollection. There cannot be a knoll which is free from the past, and there are heights and valleys which have guided men and armies the selfsame way, as birds are ushered south in winter, one after another into oblivion. Beaufort is such a place, built by the Romans on the corridor which linked Damascus with the sea at Tyre and Sidon, a thousand feet above the Litani river. The Arabs raised a new fortress here long after, and King Fulk of Jerusalem took it from them in 1139 and gave it to the lords of Sayette, who built it again. From fifteen miles away the upsurge of its walls is a fable on the horizon, the round towers sharp with a metal clarity above the river. Visitors must be accompanied by two soldiers and only remain an hour, for the old fortress stands on a new frontier and from it one can see the Israeli village of Metulleh.
–From Colin Thubron’s The Hills of Adonis: A Quest in Lebanon (1968).

@FlaglerLive, and Luka
Thank you. The Ron White video is likely the high point of this day.

Luka nodded. But still refuses to learn to moderate comments.
