“Then I walked down the Cours Belsunce. The nets were stretched out to dry. A couple of women mending them looked quite lost in the huge square. I had never seen them doing this before. I'm sure that I haven't seen most of the really important things that happen in this city. To see the things that matter, you have to feel that you want to stay. Cities shroud themselves from those who're just passing through. I picked my way carefully among the nets. The first stores were just opening, and the first newspaper boys were yelling the headlines.
The newspaper boys, the fishermen's wives on the Belsunce, the shopkeepers opening their stores, the workers going to work the early shift - they were all part of the masses who would never leave no matter what happened. The thought of leaving this place was as unlikely to occur to them as to a tree or a clump of grass.”

“کچھ تو فرق ہوتا ہے
نہیں جانے میں، اور لوٹ کر آنے میں۔
،نظارے چاہے وہی ہوں
پر فرق آ جاتا ہے اُن کے نظر آنے میں۔
مِل جاتے ہیں کچھ پہیلِیوں کے جواب،
کچھ سوال بھی نئے ڈھونڈ لیتے ہیں ہم نئے ٹھِکانوں میں
، روح میں اُتر جاتے ہیں کُچھ رِشتے اور بھی زیادہ
کُچھ دم توڑ دیتے ہیں، دور دراز کے بازاروں میں
عجب سے اب لگتے ہیں جان نے والوں کو ہم
کُچھ گِن بھی لیتے ہیں اب ہمیں دیوانوں میں
یہی فرق ہوتا ہے نہیں جانے میں، اور لوٹ کر آنے میں
کُچھ کھو جاتا ہے گُزرے زمانے میں
کُچھ مِل جاتا ہے نئے افسانے میں”
