My limbs will grow along a sycamore tree. My heart will pour its earthly water upon one of the planets. What might I be in death after my death?

"And you became like the coffee, In the deliciousness, and the bitterness and the addiction."

—Mahmoud Darwish

"If I must die,

you must live

to tell my story

to sell my things

to buy a piece of cloth

and some strings,

(make it white with a long tail)

so that a child, somewhere in Gaza

while looking heaven in the eye

awaiting his dad who left in a blaze-

and bid no one farewell

not even to his flesh

not even to himself-

sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above

and thinks for a moment an angel is there

bringing back love

If I must die

let it bring hope

let it be a tale"

-Dr. Refaat Alareer

These days I wonder what Darwish would have said if he was alive, I’m sure we would need his words. Yet, we must not forget that he’s here, that his words are still here, his poetry, his boundless humanity and beauty.

In times like these we must not forget the poets.

« In the dark times | Will there also be singing? | Yes, there will also be singing. | About the dark times. »

Bertolt Brecht

« La beauté, sans doute, ne fait pas les révolutions. Mais un jour vient où les révolutions ont besoin d'elle. »

Albert Camus

"No tribe has triumphed without a poet and no poet has triumphed unless defeated in love."
