The legend

Author's name: Ghazi Abdul Rahman Al-Gosaibi

My little grandson asks me as he watches the news following the news, “What happened?” I told him, “There was a beautiful butterfly here, taking some of its light from her heart, sprinkling it for the lovers of light, taking some of its color from her soul, and dyeing the blackness with splendor, taking from her dreams, and giving to the deprived, the oppressed, the afflicted, the elderly, the children, and the women. Whenever a whirlwind of silk and perfume approached, things went mad, the world closed its eyes, and was lost in its green thoughts. “What happened?” I told him, “A foolish butterfly got bored with the sky, so it descended to the heart of the red flame, and burned in the gasp of lights, leaving behind the deprived and the oppressed.”
Ghazi Abdul Rahman Al-Gosaibi talks about Diana, the shy teenager, and the princess woman in his book “The Legend,” in which he narrates, in his usual style, oscillating between truth and gentle sarcasm, the story of the death of the Princess of Wales, attempting to shed light on the reactions of the grieving husband, the Queen Mother, and public opinion. With the eye of a contemplative at that sudden sunset, Al-Gosaibi paints a picture of the princess’s death, but with his pen, which fragments, he creates expressions that carry deep meanings and the still pain of losing the “clever” princess, whose solution captured the attention of the globe, and who conversed with kings with the same ease with which she conversed with the homeless children of the sidewalks.
In the writer's style and with the expressions of love, Al-Qusaibi writes "The Legend," which carries the flavor of a novelist and poet wandering in the world of love, offering his condolences for the beautiful princess, explaining his most important encounters with her, narrating the details of these encounters and their literal meaning, perhaps with which he can console himself for the loss of the butterfly princess and the legend that the world lost, just as the royal palace in London lost her.
