“And after that, and also for each word, there should be sentences that show the twists and turns of meanings—the way almost every word slips in its silvery, fishlike way, weaving this way and that, adding subtleties of nuance to itself, and then perhaps shedding them as public mood dictates.”

“لماذا أراكِ على كل شيءٍ
كأنّكِ في الأرضِ كل البشر
كأنّكِ دربٌ بغير انتهاءٍ
وأنّي خُلِقتُ لهذا السّفر
إذا كنتُ أهربُ منكِ إليكِ
فقولي بربّكِ أينَ المفر؟”

كأنّكِ في الأرضِ كل البشر

وأنّي خُلِقتُ لهذا السّفر
إذا كنتُ أهربُ منكِ إليكِ
فقولي بربّكِ أينَ المفر؟”

“People always talk about how hard it can be to remember things - where they left their keys, or the name of an acquaintance - but no one ever talks about how much effort we put into forgetting. I am exhausted from the effort to forget... There are things that have to be forgotten if you want to go on living.”
