I am in a courtyard a Thousand and One Arabian Nights in its details. I call out the name of Hassan Fathy no one answers. There is an earthern pot in the centre and a low arch opposite. Through it I emerge into another courtyard, cooler and less dark. By a stairway sways a slim white cord. I pull. Somewhere above a tinkling sound. Bells. I heard them all through my travels. In the remote islands of Yugoslavia at the stroke of every hour; the electrically-controlled bells in Ronchamp, France; low octave ones round the neck of Swiss cows, and the usually out-of-tune Big Ben. I pull again, and again the delicious sound.
