Quotes by Zeina Hashem Beck (?)

“We sit here we fix the sea
with our eyes and it does not
fight back, it is wide and clear enough
to embrace our talk our illusions.”
― Zeina Hashem Beck

“It's not that you were memorable,
but you had the quality of eternal details,
like faded graffiti, abandoned newspapers,

or a few smudged notes,
almost an offbeat line,
scribbled as if by mistake
amid the frenzy of Bliss Street.”
― Zeina Hashem Beck, To Live in Autumn
