On the sign:
"וכל אותה העת אינני סרה מן החלון ועיני מלטפות בשמחה את שטחי האדמה העזובים.
הרכבת נושמת בכבדות, עולה לאיטה... ולעיני מתגלים שרידי יערות הקדם... הוי מה חפצתי לצאת מן הקרון ולטפס על צלעות ההרים... הרכבת נכנסת לתחנה. מעטים האנשים היורדים מן הקרונות. איזו שלוה.
איזה שפע אור. אני יורדת וסלי בידי..."
רחל ינאית בן - צבי, 1918.

"وفي ذلك الحين لم ابتعد عن النافذة وعيناي تداعب بسعادة الاراضي المهجورة . القطار يتنفس بصعوبة ، يصعد ببطء ... وعيناي تنكشف على الغابات القديمة ... اه كم اشتاق الان للخروج من العربة من الناس يخرجون من العربات . الهدوء . الكثير من وتسلق التلال ... دخل القطار الى المحطة . القليل الضوء . انا اخرج وسالي في يدي ..."

View from the train on the way to Bittir, 1986.

"And all that time I do not budge from the window, my eyes joyfully caressing the desolate plots of land. The train breathes heavily, slowly ascending... and remnants of the ancient forests are revealed before my eyes...Oh, how I longed to leave the car and climb those ribbed hills.. The train enters the station. A few people alight, What tranquility. What abundant light. I alight, my basket in hand."
Rachel Yanait Ben-Zvi, 1918.
