Sharing with my Chian friends , I'm sure their pride will be something not easy to tame!
Great series of information. Who would have known.
Delacroix Horse's Eyes by Nicholas
Siderakis
When viewing the painter's masterpiece (The
Massacre of Chios)
Look at the Massacre !
Don't see it ?
Stare into Delacroix horse's sorrowful round
eyes
They're a gateway, a portal
The horse distraught and horrified
Its white mane stained red
By Chians in bondage
Tyrants ready to sell them in Constantinople's
markets
Or to slaughter them like cattle by the
thousands
Oh! Look all around you I tell ya
Tears trickling down mastic trees stem
For they are living witnesses to the carnage
Stare even deeper into Delacroix horse's eyes
If a picture could speak a million words
This would be it
