In a work charged with nostalgia, Eulogy of Time tells of a life lived in a far distant land populated by memories of exotic peoples, places and things. Water, light and time comingle in these poems as José Sarria gives us the best that he has to offer of himself. Time stands still on a patio in Andalucia where the magic of geraniums fuses with the sound of the water rushing by and is captured in the common ground of the word. Life is the memory of a sunset in the final hours of the medina of Fez El-Bali. I will always treasure the certainty that in the end we will be left with the murmuring of the water in the irrigation ditches, the sustenance of the geraniums and the common ground of the word.
