In Egypt, Court Says Its Decision On Dissolving Parliament Is Final : The Two-Way : NPR

“Full many a gem of purest ray serene,
The dark unfathom’d caves of ocean bear
Full many a flow’r is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

…Here rests his head upon the lap of Earth

A youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown.
Fair Science frown’d not on his humble birth,
And Melancholy mark’d him for her own.”

From 
Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray

RIP Arab Spring
