“In the summer
I stretch out on the shore
And think of you. Had I told the sea
What I felt for you,
It would have left its shores,
Its shells,
Its fish,
And followed me.”
― Nizar Qabbani

“مئات الصفحات
مئات الصفحات
كي يقول كلمة
ولا يقولها.
 ”
― وديع سعادة, من أخذ النظرة التي تركتها أمام الباب؟

“الحكاية أَن لا حكاية
تلك التي قالها القبطان كانت خرافة
كي يسلِّي المسافرين في المحيط المديد
والحكايةُ الأخرى كانت خرافة أيضاً
كي يسلِّي الذين يغرقون.

الحكاية أنْ لا أحد في البستان
ولا أحد في الخيمة
ومن كان ينام ويزرع كان خيالاً
لا خيمة ولا بستان لكنْ قيل ذلك
كي يظنَّ الشجر أنَّ له ظلاً
ويظنّ التراب
أنَّه أُمّ.

الحكاية أَنْ لا أُمَّ
ولا قبطان ولا مركب ولا ظِلَّ
ولا حكاية.”
― وديع سعادة

“Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
― Dylan Thomas, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
