The finest souls are those who gulped pain and avoided making others taste it.

لها حكم لقمـان وصـورة يوسـف ونغـمـه داود وعـفـه مـريـم ِ ولي حزن يعقوب ووحشـه يونـس وآلام أيـــوب وحـســرة آدم ِ

She has Luqman's wisdom, Joseph's beauty, David's voice, and Mary's chastity

and I have Jacob's grief, Jonah's yearning, Job's pain and Adam's misery

I am not a teacher to teach you how to love. For the fishes need no teacher to teach them to swim. And birds need no teacher to teach them flight. Swim on your own. Fly on your own. Love comes with no textbooks And the greatest lovers in history were illiterate.

I cannot write about Damascus, without the jasmine climbing on my fingers. I cannot say Her name, without my mouth getting overcrowded with apricot juice, blackberries and quince

(Nizar Qabbani, A Green Lantern on Damascus’ Door)

[struggling-gent]

In the summer

I stretch out on the shore

And think of you.

Had I told the sea

What I felt for you,

It would have left its shores,

Its shells,

Its fish,

And followed me.

~ Nizar Qabbani
