“But what is the opposite of fidelity?' asked Professor Playfair. He was approaching the end of his dialitic; now he needed only to draw it to a close with a punch. 'Betrayal. Translation means doing violence upon the original, it means warping and distorting it for foreign, unintended eyes. So, where does that leave us?

“وأَنا المُسَافِرُ داخلي
وأَنا المُحَاصَرُ بالثنائياتِ ،
لكنَّ الحياة جديرَةٌ بغموضها
وبطائرِ الدوريِّ …
لم أُولَدْ لأَعرفَ أَنني سأموتُ ، بل لأُحبَّ محتوياتِ ظلِّ
اللهِ
يأخُذُني الجمالُ إلى الجميلِ
وأُحبُّ حُبَّك ، هكذا متحرراً من ذاتِهِ وصفاتِهِ”
