“شب خرداد
به آرامی یک مرثیه
از روی سر ثانیهها میگذرد
و نسیمی خنک
از حاشیه سبز پتو خواب مرا میروبد
بوی هجرت میآید
بالش من پُر آواز پَر چلچلههاست
صبح خواهد شد
و به این کاسهی آب
آسمان هجرت خواهد کرد”
― Hajm Sabz: Persian Version

They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we
are. They are different. ”
