Perhaps we have read the most beautiful book and after all our wonderings we will come back and see it for the first time.

yeah,very inspiring...
u can reread and understand it in a different way.for me, mystic books for example , have a lot of deep meanings ,and symbolism that every time i read,i learn more and i find something i missed last time.

but,u know Arabic David?
or u have gone to Google translator?
:)

Yes, I know it. I am trying to broaden my experience of Arabic literature which is still quite modest, and to strengthen my grasp of the language as well. I just finished Naguib Mahfouz's Midaq Alley in Arabic but it took me a very long time. There is so much to explore. I enjoy looking at the books you discuss in Arabic because it gives me ideas or notions of what perhaps to read.

I was thinking of a portion from Little Gidding in T.S. Eliot's Four Quartet's: We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

Great!

i will be glad to help u in Arabic ,but i see u are already good at it:),don't be shy to ask me anything u need.

if u like to read short stories in Arabic i would recommend محمد المخزنجى
he has a deep philosophy in his books, i enjoyed what
he sees in an idyllic world, with all varieties of animals and trees,he love everything surrounding us,however he has somehow a pessimistic look to life,having imprisoned for a false accusation of being a communist.

u could find some his books free online,if u cant i will send u the link.

and other one of my favorite authors,is مصطفى محمود
an Egyptian philosopher,u can find some of his books also free,but most of his books are about Islamic philosophy,if u are interested to know about it.
