This is beautiful. Just really, really gorgeous, and thought-provoking, and it touches perfectly on the concept of history and things that do/don't get remembered through words and material culture . . . the sense of a continuum of some kind, poetry and tradition and habits of mind, is evoked. And that really does it for me: Although it's clear that "Se Narsaugir" comes out of your reactions (intellectual, aesthetic, empathetic) to "Written by the Victors," it stands very strongly on its own as well. And now I am going to go and stare at it some more. :)
