“قد شاب صغيرك يا أمي ..
ما عاد بريئًا يا أمي..
ولكم قد هادن وتراخى
..ولكم قد نافق وتنازل
!ولكم داهن

صدأ الأعوام يغلفني
..وغبار الرحلة يعميني
أبخرة التبغ مع الحسرة
..تتسرب من صدري الفاني
حقًا
..قد واجهت الدنيا
حقًا
..قد حاربت الدنيا
..هزمتني
..لم أفهم هذا
..ومضيت أغني ألحاني
سحقتني الدنيا لكني
!لم أعلن هذا يا أمي

..قد شاخ صغيرك يا أمي
..ما عاد صغيرًا يا أمي
قد غادر مهدك كي يعرفْ
لكني حقًا لم أعرفْ
ابتعت فراء الحملانِ
جربت مسوح الرهبانِ
ولبست دروع الفرسانِ
لكني
ـ أقسم يا أمي
لم أخدع إلا مرآتي
حتى في ثوب الشيطانِ
لم أدرك معنى لحياتي
ولعمري هذي مأساتي

سيموت صغيرك يا أمي
أحلام شبابي أضنته
وقروح الماضي أدمته
أجتاز مدينة إحباطي
إكليل العار على رأسي
إني أحيا
حقًا أحيا
وبرغم تخاريفي أحيا
وبكل أكاذيبي أحيا
وبدون طموحاتي أحيا
والناس جميعًا إن كانوا
قد هزموا في الدنيا مثلي
إن كانوا قد كذبوا مثلي
فبأية معجزة ننسى ؟
وبأية معجزة نحيا ؟
أجيال
قد هُزمت قبلي
وستُهزم أجيال بعدي
فلماذا
ـ عفوًا يا أمي ـ
يكسوني العار أنا وحدي ؟

كي أكمل هذي الأغنية
لا يوجد عمر يكفيني
أنواء الليل تحاصرني
وتضيق
تضيق
!شراييني”
أحمد خالد توفيق

Jonathan Safran Foer
“He awoke each morning with the desire to do right, to be a good and meaningful person, to be, as simple as it sounded and as impossible as it actually was, happy. And during the course of each day his heart would descend from his chest into his stomach. By early afternoon he was overcome by the feeling that nothing was right, or nothing was right for him, and by the desire to be alone. By evening he was fulfilled: alone in the magnitude of his grief, alone in his aimless guilt, alone even in his loneliness. I am not sad, he would repeat to himself over and over, I am not sad. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others--the only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad. I am not sad. I am not sad. Because his life had unlimited potential for happiness, insofar as it was an empty white room. He would fall asleep with his heart at the foot of his bed, like some domesticated animal that was no part of him at all. And each morning he would wake with it again in the cupboard of his rib cage, having become a little heavier, a little weaker, but still pumping. And by the midafternoon he was again overcome with the desire to be somewhere else, someone else, someone else somewhere else. I am not sad.
Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated

Walt Whitman
“Are you the new person drawn toward me?
To begin with, take warning - I am surely far different from what you suppose;
Do you suppose you will find in me your ideal?
Do you think it so easy to have me become your lover?
Do you think the friendship of me would be unalloy'd satisfaction?
Do you think I am trusty and faithful?
Do you see no further than this façade—this smooth and tolerant manner of me?
Do you suppose yourself advancing on real ground toward a real heroic man?
Have you no thought, O dreamer, that it may be all maya, illusion?”
Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass
