Call to Cairo: The night has a thousand eyes

Francis William Bourdillon (22 March 1852 – 13 January 1921) was a British poet and translator best known for his poem “The Night Has A Thousand Eyes.” While the poem speaks about the power of love, the first line “The night has a thousand eyes” fits so nicely with this time lapse view of Cairo, Egypt by night. Anyway, Bourdillon’s poem goes like this:

The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying of the sun.

The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.
