Mahmoud Darwish
“لستُ أَعمى
لأُبْصِرَ ما تبصرونْ ،
فإنَّ البصيرةَ نورٌ يؤدِّي
إلى عَدَمٍ …. أَو جُنُونْ”
محمود درويش, جدارية

Mahmoud Darwish
“في انتظارِكِ، لا أستطيعُ انتظارَكِ
لا أَستطيعُ قراءةَ دوستويفسكي
ولا الاستماعَ إلي أُمِّ كلثوم أَو ماريّا كالاس
وغيرهما
في انتظارك تمشي العقاربُ في ساعةِ اليد نحو اليسار
إلي زَمَنٍ لا مكانَ لَهُ
في انتظارك لم أنتظرك، انتظرتُ الأزَلْ”
محمود درويش, حالة حصار

Shel Silverstein
“She had blue skin,
And so did he.
He kept it hid
And so did she.
They searched for blue
Their whole life through,
Then passed right by-
And never knew.”
Shel Silverstein, Every Thing on It

غسان كنفاني
“I heard you in the other room asking your mother, 'Mama, am I a Palestinian?' When she answered 'Yes' a heavy silence fell on the whole house. It was as if something hanging over our heads had fallen, its noise exploding, then - silence. Afterwards...I heard you crying. I could not move. There was something bigger than my awareness being born in the other room through your bewildered sobbing. It was as if a blessed scalpel was cutting up your chest and putting there the heart that belongs to you...I was unable to move to see what was happening in the other room. I knew, however, that a distant homeland was being born again: hills, olive groves, dead people, torn banners and folded ones, all cutting their way into a future of flesh and blood and being born in the heart of another child...Do you believe that man grows? No, he is born suddenly - a word, a moment, penetrates his heart to a new throb. One scene can hurl him down from the ceiling of childhood onto the ruggedness of the road.”
Ghassan Kanafani
