I don't Know if history repeats itself <br />But I do know that you don't. <br /> <br />I remember that city was divided <br />Not only between Jews and Arabs, <br />But Between me and you, <br />When we were there together. <br /> <br />We made ourselves a womb of dangers <br />We built ourselves a house of deadening wars <br />Like men of far north <br />Who build themselves a safe warm house of deadening ice. <br /> <br />The city has been reunited <br />But we haven't been there together. <br />By now I know <br />That History doesn't repeat itself, <br />As I always knew that you wouldn't.<br /><br />Yehuda Amichai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-don-t-know-if-history-repeats-itself/
