    Mahmoud Darwish
    “الجميلات هُنَّ الجميلاتُ
    [نَقْشُ الكمنجات في الخاصرةْ]
    الجميلات هُنَّ الضعيفاتُ
    [عرشٌ طفيفٌ بلا ذاكرةْ]
    الجميلات هُنَّ القويّاتُ
    [يأسٌ يضيء ولا يحترقْ]
    الجميلات هُنَّ الأميرات
    [رَبَّاتُ وحيِ قَلِقْ]
    الجميلاتُ هُنَّ القريباتُ
    [جاراتُ قوس قُزَحْ]
    الجميلات هُنَّ البعيداتُ
    [مثل أغاني الفرحْ]
    الجميلات هُنَّ الفقيراتُ
    [كالورد في ساحة المعركةْ]
    الجميلاتُ هُنَّ الوحيداتُ
    [مثل الوصيفات في حضرة الملكةْ]
    الجميلات هُنَّ الطويلاتُ
    [خالات نخل السماءْ]
    الجميلات هُنَّ القصيراتُ
    [يُشرَبْنَ في كأس ماءْ]
    الجميلات هُنَّ الكبيراتُ
    [مانجو مُقَشَّرَةٌ ونبيذٌ مُعَتَّقْ]
    الجميلات هُنَّ الصغيراتُ
    [وَعْدُ غدٍ وبراعمُ زنبقْ]
    الجميلاتُ، كلّْ الجميلاتُ، أنتِ
    إذا ما اجْتَمَعْنَ ليخْتَرْنَ لي أَنبلَ القاتلات!”
    ― محمود درويش, كزهر اللوز أو أبعد

    Charlotte Brontë
    “I have for the first time found what I can truly love–I have found you. You are my sympathy–my better self–my good angel–I am bound to you with a strong attachment. I think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wrap my existence about you–and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.”

    “I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.”
