KITE-za or ki-TESH) - the name of an old Russian city of folklore. Look it up. All you'll find are summaries, and they are short. To vanish rather than surrender to barbarism and ugliness. To become invisible but not forgotten. In doing so, becoming a vessel into which are placed memories of goodness and beauty. In the end, as has been said, "Beauty will save the world."
