Outrage
Natalia has just pointed me to a new post at The Brooding Persian: a full quotation of what seems as a most harsh statement on the Iranian situation.
Is it that harsh?
To my eyes, Anonymus' outcry is mild in comparison with Swift's "A Modest Proposal".
For sure the words of the "Anonymus" sound as coming from an agonized spirit of a whole generation, but who wouldn't voice them in such a stifling despairing situation?
The agony catches when you read behind the highly poetic utterance a call for help - and sit across waters with hands bound.
