Mahmoud Darwish, from Memory for Forgetfulness: August, Beirut, 1982 (tr. Ibrahim Muhawi)
“I need a father, I need a mother, I need some older, wiser being to cry to. I talk to God but the sky is empty.”
— Sylvia Plath - Taken From ‘The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath’ February, 1956
Do you regret your life?
Even before I was touched, I belonged to you;
you had only to look at me.
— Louise Glück, from “The Burning Heart,” Poems 1962-2012
