“The slow overture of rain,
each drop breaking
without breaking into
the next, describes
the unrelenting, syncopated
mind. Not unlike
the hummingbirds
imagining their wings
to be their heart, and swallows
believing the horizon
to be a line they lift
and drop.
—Jorie Graham, from “Mind,” Hybrids of Plants and of Ghosts. (Princeton University Press; First Edition edition June 21, 1980)”

“«أرهقني السّير على الأشواك وفوق الجمر
وطال الدّرب
وتلاشى هذا القلب
في داء الحزن وداء الشوق وداء الحبّ
خذ بيدي... في آخر خطواتي
خذ بيدي... يا ربّ!”
― كولاج 3
