Dayan, however, is a good deal more subtle in his approach to the problem than Begin. For instance, he is said to have persuaded Begin...
...there is not a breath of poetry in it. Indeed, it is most prosaic when it tries to be poetic, as when Hudson muses that the sea "has great beauty and mystery, and she is eternal," or when his middle son's day-long ordeal with a giant marlin that gets away magically triggers a reconciliation with...
