As for Cairo, ‏it was like its pyramids, ‏reducing time to the statue of Nefertiti, ‏and the ascension of Khufu on the steps of history in order to raise the anthem high for those who were deafened by the noise of the city, ‏which is full of its luxuriant women, ‏well-groomed, ‏well-groomed, ‏as tall as palm trees, ‏grotesques like the great Nile of Egypt.
