(...) In ageless round time’s twins persist Outwearing all that is young and new And you who mourned, then loved again: How many again will find love new! What splendour, happiness, beauty In life you enjoy, is a flash of the dancing mirage. Abul-’Atahiya of Bakr 748-828 C.E. Kufa, Iraq (...) IMAD ATALLA is publisher and executive editor of Publio. |
