Mirrors

This is a quote from the back of a book by the name of "Mirrors"

"Mirrors are full of people
The invisible see us.
The forgotten recall us
When we see ourselves, we see them
When we turn away, do they?

This book was written to
keep them from turning away.

In these pages past and present unite.
The dead are reborn, the anonymous have names:
the men who built the palaces and temples of their lords,
the women, ignored by those who ignore what they fear,
the south and east of the world, scorned by those who scorn what they ignore, the many worlds that the world contains and conceals,

the thinkers and the feelers,
the curious, condemned for asking, and the rebels and losers and lovely lunatics who were and are the salt of the earth."

Eduardo Galeano
