“Image (II)

Over every extinguished past,
tears gush out.

The castle wall is desiccated;
the wind blows.

The grass waves;
over the hills, across the fields
no rest;
white angels countenances do not appear.

Alas I wish to die;
alas I wish to live;
alas I, over every extinguished past,
let tears gush out.
Out of the sky
the wind blows.”
― Chūya Nakahara, The Poems of Nakahara Chuya

“مُتَفَرِّدٌ بصَبَابَتي ، مُتَفَرِّدٌ بكَآبَتي ، مُتَفَرِّدٌ بعَنَائِي
شَاكٍ إِلَى البَحْرِ اضْطِرَابَ خَوَاطِرِي ، فَيُجيبُني برِيَاحِهِ الهَوْجَاءِ
ثَاوٍ عَلَى صَخْرٍ أَصَمََّ ، وَلَيْتَ لي قَلْبَاً كَهَذِي الصَّخْرَةِ الصَّمَّاءِ !
يَنْتَابُهَا مَوْجٌ كَمَوْجِ مَكَارِهِي ، وَيَفتُّهَا كَالسُّقْمِ في أَعْضَائي”
― خليل مطران

“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“I always lose the things I don't want to lose the most. That's why I don't feel anything anymore. The moment you get your hands on something worth going after, you lose it. That's just how things are. There is nothing worth pursuing at the cost of prolonging a life of suffering.”
