“It never really goes away, the longing for the life not lived, because isn’t that part of how we come to know ourselves too? Through what we lack as much as what we have, all we dream but do not hold. Some desires have no resolution.”

— Madelaine Lucas, Thirst for Salt (Tin House Books, March 7, 2023)

فإن تسألني كيف أنت فإنَّني

‏صبورٌ على ريبِ الزمانِ صعيبُ

‏حريصٌ على أن لا يُرى بي كآبةٌ

‏فيشمُتُ عادٍ أو يُساءَ حَبيبُ

_علي بن أبي طالب*

[lolwa16]

وما الناسُ إلاَّ فِعَالُهُمُ

‏فَدَعْ ما تُزَخْرِفُهُ الأَلْسُنُ

‏سَجِيَّةُ أَصْلِ الفَتَى فِعْلُهُ

‏بما عِنْدَهُ يَقْذِفُ المَعْدِنُ

_ابن الحداد الأندلسي*

[lolwa16]

وَمَن ذا الَّذي تُرضى سَجاياهُ كُلُّها

كَفى المَرءَ نُبلاً أَن تُعَدَّ مَعايِبُهْ

_علي بن الجهم*
