A Terrible Beauty



In his poem “Easter, 1916” W.B. Yeats uses the words "a terrible beauty" not to describe Ireland, but  to describe the sacrifice that some people were about to make to earn independence for Ireland.

I think that would also be an appropriate description of Rwanda: the country is beautiful beyond description, but what happened there is terrible beyond imagining.
