The New Day

Description

A crowd of people including dancing boys, musicians, and darvishes walk dejectedly away from a new dawn while a column of students carrying books approaches. Molla Nasreddin stands in the center, bowing in the direction of the departing crowd. Two men stand in front of the sun on the horizon and shake hands. A broken knife is at their feet.
