1 Are these mute traces of a camp Umm Awfa's, / at Hawmanat al-Darraj and al-Mutathallam?
2 Stop, let us weep for the memory of a beloved and a dwelling / at the edge of the sand dunes between al-Dakhul and Hawmal.
3 Khawla has traces of a camp on the stony ground of Thahmad / that shine like the remains of a tattoo on the back of a hand.

📜 Poetry

The most famous lines of Saint Teresa of Ávila and Saint John of the Cross

1 I live without living in myself, / and I hope for so high a life / that I die because I do not die.
2 Let nothing disturb you, / let nothing frighten you, / all things pass, / God does not change; / patience obtains all things… / God alone suffices.
3 One dark night, / fired with love's urgent longings, / oh, happy chance!, / I went out unseen, / my house being now all stilled.

📜 Poetry

Langston Hughes's most famous lines (with the poem they come from)

1 I, too, sing America. / I am the darker brother.
2 O, let America be America again — / The land that never has been yet — / And yet must be — the land where every man is free.
3 What happens to a dream deferred? / Does it dry up / like a raisin in the sun? / Or does it explode?
