“مشت می‌کوبم بر در
پنجه می‌سایم بر پنجره‌ها
من دچار خفقانم، خفقان
من به تنگ آمده‌ام از همه چیز
بگذارید هواری بزنم
آی! با شما هستم
این درها را باز کنید
من به دنبال فضایی می‌گردم
لب بامی
سر کوهی
دل صحرایی
که در آن‌جا نفسی تازه کنم
می خواهم فریاد بلندی بکشم
که صدایم به شما هم برسد!
من هوارم را سر خواهم داد!
چاره درد مرا باید این داد کند
از شما خفته‌ی چند!
چه کسی می‌آید با من فریاد کند”
― فریدون مشیری

To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry –

Without oppress of Toll –

― Emily Dickinson, Selected Poems

“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic."
