“آن‌که می‌گوید دوستت دارم
خُـنـیـاگر غمگینی‌ست
که آوازش را از دست داده است

ای کاش عشق را
زبان ِ سخن بود

هزار کاکلی شاد
در چشمان توست
هزار قناری خاموش
در گلوی من

عشق را
ای کاش زبان ِ سخن بود

آن‌که می‌گوید دوستت دارم
دل اندُه گین شبی ست
که مهتابش را می جوید

ای کاش عشق را
زبان ِ سخن بود

هزار آفتاب خندان در خرام ِ توست
هزار ستاره‌ی گریان
در تمنای من

عشق را
ای کاش زبان ِ سخن بود”
― احمد شاملو

“An offering for the sake of offering, perhaps. Anyhow, it was her gift. Nothing else had she of the slightest importance; could not think, write, even play the piano. She muddled Armenians and Turks; loved success; hated discomfort; must be liked; talked oceans of nonsense: and to this day, ask her what the Equator was, and she did not know.

All the same, that one day should follow another; Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday; that one should wake up in the morning; see the sky; walk in the park; meet Hugh Whitbread; then suddenly in came Peter; then these roses; it was enough. After that, how unbelievable death was!-that it must end; and no one in the whole world would know how she had loved it all; how, every instant . . .”
― Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway

“تلخ
چون قرابه ی زهری
خورشید از خراش خونین گلو می گذرد.

سپیدار
دلقک دیلاقی ست
بی مایه
با شلوار ابلق و شولای سبزش،
که سپیدی خسته خانه را
مضمونی دریده کوک می کند.

مرمر خشک آب دان بی ثمر
آیینه ی عریانی شیرین نمی شود،
و تیشه ی کوه کن
بی امان ترک اکنون
پایان جهان را
در نبضی بی رویا تبیره می کوبد.

کند
همچون دشنه یی زنگار بسته
فرصت
از بریدگی های خون بار عصب می گذرد”
― احمد شاملو / Ahmad Shamlou

“من در اين تاريكي
فكر يك بره‌ي روشن هستم
كه بيايد علف خستگي‌ام را بچرد.

من در اين تاريكي
امتداد تر بازوهايم را
زير باراني مي‌بينم
كه دعاهاي نخستين بشر را تر كرد.

من در اين تاريكي
در گشودم به چمن‌هاي قديم،
به طلايي‌هايي، كه به ديوار اساطير تماشا كرديم.

من در اين تاريكي
ريشه‌ها را ديدم
و براي بته‌ي نورس مرگ، آب را معني كردم.”
― سهراب سپهري
