“Shall I tell you the secret of the whole world? It is that we have only known the back of the world. We see everything from behind, and it looks brutal. That is not a tree, but the back of a tree. That is not a cloud, but the back of a cloud. Cannot you see that everything is stooping and hiding a face? If we could only get round in front--”

“وداعا أيها الغريب
كانت إقامتك قصيرة، لكنها كانت رائعة
عسى أن تجد جنتك التي فتشت عنها كثيرا
وداعا أيها الغريب
كانت زيارتك رقصة من رقصات الظل
قطرة من قطرات الندى قبل شروق الشمس
لحناً سمعناه لثوان من الدغل
ثم هززنا رؤوسنا وقلنا أننا توهمناه
وداعا أيها الغريب
لكن كل شيء ينتهي!”

“It struck him that in moments of crisis one is never fighting against an external enemy, but always against one’s own body... On the battlefield, in the torture chamber, on a sinking ship, the issues that you are fighting for are always forgotten, because the body swells up until it fills the universe, and even when you are not paralysed by fright or screaming with pain, life is a moment-to-moment struggle against hunger or cold or sleeplessness, against a sour stomach or an aching tooth.”
