“عيناك غابتا نخيل ساعة السحر
أو شرفتان راح ينأى عنهما القمر
عيناك حين تبسمان تورق الكروم
وترقص الأضواء...كالأقمار في نهر
يرجه المجداف وهناً ساعة السحر
كأنما تنبض في غوريهما النجوم

وتغرقان في ضباب من أسى شفيف
كالبحر سرح اليدين فوقه المساء
دفء الشتاء فيه وارتعاشة الخريف
والموت والميلاد والظلام والضياء
فتستفيق ملء روحي رعشة البكاء
ونشوة وحشية تعانق السماء
كنشوة الطفل إذا خاف من القمر”
― بدر شاكر السياب

“My love, my love
Remember the cries
When winter died for spring skies
They roared and roared
But we grabbed our seed
And sowed a song
Against their greed

And
Down in the vale
Hear the reaper swing, the reaper swing
the reaper swing
Down in the vale
Hear the reaper sing
A tale of winter done

My son, my son
Remember the chains
When gold ruled with iron reins
We roared and roared
And twisted and screamed
For ours, a vale
of better dreams”
― Pierce Brown, Red Rising

Dienekes, however, undaunted by this prospect, remarked with a laugh, 'Good. Then we will fight in the shade.”
― Herodotus
