Zobeide

“(…) Zobeide, the white city, well exposed t the moon, with streets wound about themselves as in a skein. They tell this tale of its foundation: men of various nations had an identical dream: They saw a woman running at night through an unknown city; she was seen from behind, with log hair, and she was naked. They dreamed of pursuing her. After the dream they set out in search of that city; they never found it, but they found one another; they decided to build a city like the one in the dream.”
