Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“I was dead, then alive.
Weeping, then laughing.

The power of love came into me,
and I became fierce like a lion,
then tender like the evening star.”
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

Charlotte Brontë
I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Mahmoud Darwish
“للْحَقيقَة وَجْهان ... وَالثَّلْجُ أَسْود فوق مَدينَتنا

لَمْ نَعُدْ قادرين على الْيأْس أكْثرَ مما يَئسْنا ... والنِّهايةُ
تَمْشى إلى السّور واثقَةً مِنْ خُطاها
فَوْقَ هذا الْبلاط الْمُبلِّل بالدَّمْعِ ... واثقةً مِنْ خُطاها
منْ سيُنْزلُ أَعْلامنا : نَحْنُ أم هُمْ ؟
وَمَنْ سوْف يتلوعليْنا " مُعاهَدَة الصلح " ..... يا ملك الإحْتضار ؟
كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مُعَدُّ لنا سلَفاً
منْ سينْزعُ أَسْماءنا عنْ هُويَّتنا : أَنْتَ أمْ هُمْ ؟ وَمَنْ سوْفَ يزْرعُ فينا خُطْبَةَ التّيهِ
" لَمْ نَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ نَفُكَّ الْحِصار فَلْنُسلِّمْ مفاتيحَ فِرْدَوْسِنا لوسولِ السَّلام ونَنْجو
للحقيقةِ وجْهانِ ...... كان الشِّعارُ الْمُقَدَّسُ سَيْفاً لَنا وَعَلَيْنا
فَماذا فَعَلْتَ بقَلْعَتنا قَبْلَ هذا النَّهار ؟
لَمْ تُقاتِلْ لأنَّك تَخْشى الشَّهادَةَ .... لكنَّ عَرْشَكَ نَعْشُكْ
فأحْمِلِ النَّعْشَ كي تَحفَظَ الْعَرْشَ .... يا مَلك الإنْتِظار
إنَّ هذا السلام سَيتْرُكُنا حُفْنَةً منْ غُبار
مَنْ سيدْفنُ أَيامنا بَعْدنَا : أَنْت ..... أَمْ هُمْ ؟ وَمَنْ
سوْفَ يرْفَعُ راياتهمْ فَوْق أَسْوارِنا : أَنْتَ .... أَمْ فارسٌ يائسٌ ؟
من يُعلّقُ أجْراسهم فَوْقَ رحْلَتنا
أَنْتَ ..... أَمْ حارسٌ بائسٌ ؟
كُلُّ شيء مُعَدُّ لَنا سلفا
فَلماذا تُطيلُ النهايةَ ...... يا ملك الإحْتضارْ”
محمود درويش, أحد عشر كوكبا

T.H. White
“The bravest people are the ones who don’t mind looking like cowards.”
T.H. White, The Once and Future King

Alfred Tennyson
“Be near me when my light is low,
When the blood creeps, and the nerves prick
And tingle; and the heart is sick,
And all the wheels of Being slow.

Be near me when the sensuous frame
Is rack'd with pangs that conquer trust;
And Time, a maniac scattering dust,
And Life, a fury slinging flame.

Be near me when my faith is dry,
And men the flies of latter spring,
That lay their eggs, and sting and sing
And weave their petty cells and die.

Be near me when I fade away,
To point the term of human strife,
And on the low dark verge of life
The twilight of eternal day.”
Alfred Lord Tennyson, In Memoriam
