“What did we lose, what was lost in us?
To whom do these distances belong that separated us
and that now bind us?

Are we still one
or have we both broken into pieces? How gentle this dust is-
Its body now, and mine, at this very minute
are one and the same”
Ali Ahmad Sa’id, If Only the Sea Could Sleep
“I love you
as if all hearts were a mirror of mine”
Adonis, If Only the Sea Could Sleep
“My days are her name

The dreams, when the sky is sleepless
over my sorrow, are her name
The obsession is her name
and the wedding, when slayer and sacrifice embrace
is her name.

Once I sang: every rose
as it tires, is her name
as it journeys, is her name.

Did the road end, has her name changed?”
Adonis, If Only the Sea Could Sleep
