The title of this essay says it all: The late John Berger, one of the most prominent philosophers of our time, writes through his grief at the graveside of Mahmoud Darwish, one of the most influential poets of our time. Written in 2008, the piece is still as strong today as the first day it appeared, and a beautiful literary work.
