He loved to think about the power of the sun, about light, about the ocean. The purity of the air moved him. There was no stain in the water, where schools of minnows swam. Herzog sighed and said to himself, "Praise God—praise God." His breathing had become freer. His heart was greatly stirred by the open horizon; the deep color; the faint iodine pungency of the Atlantic rising from weeds and mollusks; the white, fine, heavy sand; but principally by the green transparency as he looked down to the stony bottom webbed with golden lines. Never still. If his soul could cast a reflection so brilliant, and so intensely sweet, he might beg God to make such use of him.

— Saul Bellow, from Herzog

APAN:

Australia is preparing to welcome Isaac Herzog, a leader whose genocidal statements are on evidentiary record in international proceedings. Palestinians continue to be killed. Land theft continues. Aid and medical supplies remain blocked. Now, as this visit is announced, protest and speech laws are tightening — threatening to silence Australians who oppose genocide. This is not diplomacy.  It is complicity, enforced by repression.

The only truly interesting side of the matter was the intimate design of the injury, the fact that it was so penetrating, custom-made exactly to your measure. It's fascinating that hatred should be so personal as to be almost loving. The knife and the wound aching for each other.
