"She Measures time not by days and months and years, but by the empires she has seen rise and crumble to ruin. she is a type of immortality... Damascus has seen all that ever occurred on earth and still she lives . she had looked upon the dry bones of a thousand empires , and will see the tombs of a thousand more before she dies" -- Mark Twain

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
