My heart is in the east, and I in the uttermost west. br How can I find savor in food? How shall it be sweet to me? br How shall I render my vows and my bonds, while yet br Zion lieth beneath the fetter of Edom, and I in Arab chains? br A light thing would it seem to me br to leave all the good things of Spain - br Seeing how precious in mine eyes br to behold the dust of the desolate sanctuary.
