![Hungarian border police stand guard opposite refugees standing behind a fence at the Hungarian border with Serbia near the town of Horgos on September 16, 2015. Europe's 20-year passport-free Schengen zone appeared to be a risk of crumbling with Germany boosting border controls on parts of its frontier with France as migrants desperate to find a way around Hungary's border fence began crossing into Croatia. With a string of EU countries tightened frontier controls in the face of the unprecedented human influx, the cherished principle of free movement across borders -- a pillar of the European project -- seemed in grave jeopardy]()

At this late hour
in this autumn night
I am full of your words;
eternal as time and matter
naked as an eye,
heavy as a hand
and gleaming as stars
your words.

At this late hour
in this autumn night
I am full of your words;
eternal as time and matter
naked as an eye,
heavy as a hand
and gleaming as stars
your words.
Your words came to me,
they were of your heart, of your head, of your flesh.
Your words brought you,
they were: mother,
they were: woman
and they were comrade...
They were sad, painful, joyful, hopeful, heroic,
your words were human...
they were of your heart, of your head, of your flesh.
Your words brought you,
they were: mother,
they were: woman
and they were comrade...
They were sad, painful, joyful, hopeful, heroic,
your words were human...
