Mahmoud Darwish, In the Presence of Absence
"I had arrived overwhelmed with grief. Who knew but when I left I should do so with regret? I told myself all this as one touches a wound, the better to feel its pain."
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The House of the Dead
[…] I’m marked by grief and by the idea that something must emerge from grief. The difference was not unlike that difference between the fear I felt going toward the cliff and the fear I feel—having gone—seeing what’s beyond.
Paul Tran, from “Scheherazade / Scheherazade,” All the Flowers Kneeling (Penguin Books, 2022)
Nazim Hikmet, A Spring Piece Left in the Middle
"there was no space for a continuous forest, no space for an infinite sea, no matter how endless the search.

Garous Abdolmalekain, Lean Against This Late Hour
"Even after letting go of the last bird, I hesitate. There is something in this empty cage that never gets released."

Garous Abdolmalekain, Lean Against This Late Hour
“Perhaps all of life is no more than a long preparation for the leaving of it.”
— John Banville, The Sea

"Every winter an absent joy pains you. You walk into the rain, a single duo: you and the person you were in another winter."
— Mahmoud Darwish, In the Presence of Absence
"With a massacre or two, the country’s name, our country, became another. Reality became an idea and history became memory. The myth invades and the invasion attributes everything to the will of the Lord who promised and did not renege on his promise.
They wrote their narrative: we have returned. They wrote our narrative: they have returned to the desert. They put us on trial: why were you born here?
We said: why was Adam born in paradise?"
Mahmoud Darwish, In the Presence of Absence
